So cool it tengaugetx.
Cool it, sounds like you are the one who needs a little time out my friend. Life is great as long as everyone agrees with you, huh? You sir are indicative of the typical internet blow hard. Bullying everyone who has a different experience or opinion than your own. Grow up and learn some manners before someone puts a boot up your backside.
You are way ahead of me in one respect, if you can be believed. I have shot a few coyotes with rimfires that were targets of opportunity. I have purposely chosen not to hunt coyotes with either the 5mm or the 22mag because I consider both of them woefully inadequate for real life hunting situations on coyote size animals. You, with your vast experience of killing coyotes with rimfires, are way ahead of me. By the way, got any pics? Just sayin'
A couple things to remember with the 5mm. The first is the rifle has a two extractor system that needs to be kept clean and lubricated, along with the chamber. Due to the relatively figh pressures of the 5mm cartridge system it was designed with a primary extractor located as part of the chamber and a secondary extractor on the bolt. The second would be to clean the rifle bore as you would a centerfire. Leaving the bore dirty like a 22lr is not to be recommended.
