    rabbit reliably. I have seen coyotes taken, but only with head shots. The body shots just barely penetrated to the inside of the skin.

        i would suspect it depends on the distances you're shooting.

        i would not hesitate to put a .17 HMR in the head or lungs of a 'ote within 100 yards.

        I've read about 'ote being taken at 250 yds with the .17 HMR...personally...i would not try it from that distance with a .17 HMR.

        we are told not to judge muslims by what a few do...yet, the NRA membership and firearms owners are ALL considered as radical...
