coyotes and other critters sometimes are just hard to kill i have tried and killed many critters with many different cartridges including the little 22 LR & 17 HMR up to 22 Swift at my home , i have decided most of my shots are less 125 yards , many times 30 yards ,so for the last few years i have used a 22 Hornet , my vote would for a 22 Hornet if your a handloader great old cartridge , its cheap to use, accurate , not to noisy,no recoil , and kills critters good too , so that`s the rifle behind my door Ruger bolt 22 Hornet with a clip all year long.
