I'm looking for the best fur friendly caliber with a fur friendly bullet for bobcat with in 100 yards.
I have used 17 hmr, 17wsm w/ 20gr, .223 w/ a 55grain soft point on cats and 22-250 on coyotes. All the calibers had pros and cons. The 17hmr was a little light in my opinion but it got the job done more than once. The 17wsm did well on bobcats last year but it does not have the knock down power. I have only been able to take 1 cat with the soft point 55grain in the .223. The 22-250 seams like it would turn the pelt into a inside out glove.
What is your suggestion for BOBCATS. Im always willing to lean from others!
