I’ve been itching to try I knew 17 Remington on a coyote hunt this fall. Sunday morning as I was walking to my first day at Kyle busted me in the meadow. I got my bipod up and waited for him to stop on the top of the next hill. I ranged him at 227 yards. I had my rifle zeroed at 200. So I put the cross-hairs of my Vortex Viper on his chest behind the shoulder and squeezed the trigger. THWAP! The 25gr Hornady HP made him spin for 2 Seconds and then he expired.
After my first stand I had nothing called in, but as I glasses the hills I spotted a coyote 600 yds off on top of a hill laying in the sun. I tucked behind the hills and popped up within 300 yds of him still laying down. I ranged this one at 282 yds. Again I shot and again THWAP! Didn’t move.
I’m sold on this caliber. I would not hesitate to shoot a coyote out to 350 yds. The smack it makes on meat is like I’ve never heard out of any other caliber. Now to see if I can get the 32 gr Reeds to shoot!
