A few years ago, "someone" I know shot a turkey at about 200 yards with a .17 Hornet, using the 20gr. VMax, and it was like an electrocution, pop, and not even a flop. Not a single ounce of breast meat was injured, no damage whatsoever, and the turkey was running away at the time, and that "someone" just aimed "at the big part".
It was a fat turkey, but again, not a bit of meat was wasted. I can highly recommend the .17 Hornet for turkey, if it's legal there. The little Hornet with the 20s isn't bad for such things.
I haven't seen it used on foxes or coyotes, though I suspect that 3500fps is slow enough to penetrate coyotes if you hit them right in the first place. I think you might nudge the 25HPs a bit faster for better performance, but I think 3500 is about right for the 20s.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
