I have the CZ VARMINTER 17 HH. I have to say with my 25gr.Hp reloads loaded slower then 3000FPS, I have not experienced anything but DRT with gray, and red fox. None, I mean none had fur damage. From 20yds to 135yds so far. I have shot coyotes with 20gr V-max, my 25gr. HP reloads and factory 25gr.HP again all DRT. One coyote that was shot with 20gr. V-max was hit just off dead center of chest at 120 plus yds. The round penetrated 17 inches thru his chest and blew a 1 1/2 inch hole out the opposite side of the chest after breaking the last two ribs. My farthest coyote was 235yds. Other then that coyote shot with the 20gr V-Max, There hasn't been any fur damage. Shot placement is more critical then it is with a larger caliber, but with set trigger and a lighted dot its easier. Coyote vitals are farther forward and smaller then most think.
