True believer = 17 Fireball

[AP2020]

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.

don't shoot at runners then good to go.

Some of us will do what we do and others will to then we all will be happy.
I'm not telling anybody how to shoot or how far.

It's not about who's happy it's about doing right thing. Why run around and cripple game ......
that's what a 17 f.b. will do if you don't know its limits. The guy made a solid body hit and no blood, just think what it be like on a bad hit on a runner, you not going to find enough blood to track it down and finish the job, just not. 17's have their place if you go about it the right way..

Who are you to decide what's right and what's not? You have no idea what AP2020 skills are do you.
Who made you god?

I've killed 300 Ohio coyotes with the 17 Hornet,not one got away.
Just today I whacked one at 100 yards with a Ruger 77/22 integrally suppressed rifle with a Winchester 42 max subsonic hollow point. DRT, just above his left eye,I was a little off as the lighting was poor. The 17 cals are fantastic and most will drop yotes if not all out to 250 yards, pictures of today's yote shortly,that's a beauty keep it up.
