Jdb: From my observations of my friends Rifles and what little Ground Squirelling I have done this spring with my 17 Hornet you may be right?
Low recoil, no barrel heat, relatively quiet and I have seen my friends clipping off the diminutive Gophers easily out at 250 yards with their 17 Hornets (CZ's and Ruger 77's).
Which bullet are you using on the Coyotes?
Come on good weather!
TIA
Hold into the wind
