True believer = 17 Fireball

I had posted this on the Varmint subforum.

However, I must admit I had initial doubts on the 17 cal 30gr bullet for our Ohio coyotes.

In my 24" 1:9 twist Deadshot 17 Fireball Barrel I am getting 3,450fps with IMR8208 XBR and 30gr Berger bullets.

You guys were right! What really surprised me is that we could NOT find the entrance hole. This #40 male coyote bleed profusely from his mouth indicative of a perfect broadside double lung shot.

Btw, this was my 1st coyote with a 17 caliber bullet. I have shot many coyotes with .224, 6mm, .308, 9mm, and 12ga.
