Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 17hmr good for coyotes?

i kill alot of foxes and 'yotes with my 20 Vartarg. the longest shot on a 'yote was 232 yards. what i like about 20VT is the fragmentation of the bullet. it goes in and makes lung soup with chunks of heart. the 20VT will either make a fox/'yote DRT or it will run about 20-30 yards and fall over dead.

i shot a 'yote at 330ish yards, no laser ranger thingy back then, with my Savage m340 in 222 Remington with 50gr Hornady SP and a full load of H322. i sold it after the barrel was fried (6000-7000 rounds from me, i don't know what the number of rounds as i bought it second hand) and i just had have a new Remington m700 in 223 Rem, dummkopf. it was the next to the most inaccurate rifle i ever had. for 25+/- years that is why i no longer own a 223 or a 223 AI.
