I don't want to hijack the "best caliber" thread so let's start a new one. Within reasonable distances, is 22 WMR an effective and/or ethical caliber on the listed subjects? At factory speeds is there an advantage between JHP and VMax bullets?
The federal 50gr. JHP loads work the best from our experience. My buddy competes yearly, in the coyote tournaments here in southern OR. and that's all he ever uses. He's also a trapper and fur trader with many a bobcat under his belt. He also uses either a 22lr or his trusty 22 magnum on them. I'd trust the heavy 50gr. federal JHP on yotes up to 150 yards, since we've killed them at that range (BTDT). You generally get 1 hole going in and none going out with massive damage to the insides of the critter. This is good when you are saving the pelts to sell in the fur auctions...
