There have been inquiries re: wild boar, mt.lion, deer etc. I have seen these inquiries on other threads and on RFC.
I'm not making inquiries Pecci.
I'm giving good, solid, information about my own experiences with this round in this application because of an inquiry(the inquiry that started this thread). Observant info mind you, you can tell by reading the rimfire thread that i've been careful to note the ranges i shot, the ranges they may have run, shot location, damage, reactions, etc., which should give most readers plenty of insight to the rounds capabilities. I'm not the first to have used this round for this application...i would hate to guess how many coyotes have been taken with this round already. I would hate to guess how many are wounded by centerfire also. Those statements are not even the issue...it keeps coming back to limits of shooter and weapon. .17 hmr is capable to certain ranges...fact...biggest question is....is the shooter capable???
I just didn't kill several and said it worked fine, i killed several and noted many details that should prove quite useful to folks who may entertain the idea of using this round for this application....like the guy who started this thread for example.
Its good info too, i know i would appreciate it and do appreciate it when others take the time to inform in detail on subjects of interest to me. I am merely saying the .17 hmr is best choice of all rimfires in my opinion...based on experience...that's it.
We can argue until the cows come home if the round is good or not. I've had less coyotes crawl away from me(zero for the record) than Varmint Al has had ground squirrels crawl away from him...do the math. You should be defending me /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-006.gif.
All joking aside, I think wrongtarget has taken care of explaining the ground squirrel situation of Varmint Al. You were leaving some important details out to suit your argument. Varmint Al was testing the round to fairly long ranges, i know, i've read the whole thing a few times, he was also making comparison to centerfire rounds which i think is a fair compliment to the might little rimfire that he would even do so. To me that says alot about the little cartridge.
C'mon man, i've been very thorough with my wording. You made assumptions based on hearsay about rib stopping bullet etc. i disagreed and rightly so because i knew otherwise from experience. You've got opinion that its not a good all round coyote cartridge...i agree. I think we are all on the same page, but must be bored or have too much time on our hands to basically keep argueing over...nothing. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
Just go get one and have some fun, you will be impressed.
