I've been wondering about the 22LR as threat reducer.
It may be ugly, but 33 Stingers ain't no joke...
I have a stash of those and some other high velocity stuff.
Sam;
Good evening my friend, I hope the week behaved well enough for you all.
While I'm cognizant coyotes and people are two different things, I have hit coyotes with a 165gr BT out of a .308 Norma and had them just shift gears and leave - for a wee bit.
Anyways Sam, CCI Velocitor is the "house load" here for coyotes now. I want to say I'm at 6 now with one shot stops and usually stop and drop with Velocitors. Edit to add - that's out of a rifle to be clear.
We Stingered at least one and another one caught a Yellow Jacket, but both of them are better gopher/pigeon/rat bullets as they don't penetrate quite enough.
Now as to whether or not the Velocitor gets up to enough speed in a short barrel Sam, that I cannot say, but we did chronograph Stingers from a 5" pistol and while I can't recall the speed, it wasn't as fast as out of a rifle - I think....
The other "yard load" here is a .357 Mag carbine that puts 158gr out at 1700fps, but it's not been fired in anger into anything - yet.
All the best and back to the regular 9mm topic now Sam.
