Default RE: 17 HMR Vrs 22 Magnum For Coyotes/Crows

ORIGINAL: Ridge Runner

HDW, can you prove that as fact? look I wasn't born yesterday, I've talked to dozens of guys who sold they're hmr's, I talked at length, mostly to determine weather they were knolegeable, or just spouting off, a few of them I've known long enough and shot with them enough that I took they're word as gospel. Now, who reccomends the 17 HMR for coyotes? Who?, the 22 WMR with a 50 gr bullet is marginal and your saying the same case with a 20 gr. bullet is reccomended? GIVE ME A BREAK! the hmr is a fine lil rifle, no doubt, very accurate but its a known fact that the smaller you drill STRAIGHT through barrel stock, the better stuff ya gotta use, and BTW Green mountain barrels are making almost all the 17 hmr barrels. I don't give a darn if you post of killing elephants with it on the net, the 17 HMR is NOT a coyote gun. The 17 rem has alot heavier jacket on a 25 gr. bullet and another 1500 fps faster and it won't pass through a yote but I'm sposed to believe the HMR will?

BTW I'm talking about ultramax reman ammo, 235.00 per thousand
If you have no experience with a 17 HMR dont even bother posting, because whatever you type and its different from my own personal experience, I know you are full of Cr@p or are just flat out ignorant.
So anybody who says they're results don't match yours are ignorant? thats class there! have read almost all the books I can find on exterior ballistics, which ones did you write?

Congratulations, Another Arm chair ballistics expert. Its pretty easy to read about exterior ballistics, but it doesnt make you a ballistics expert. Do you log your own ballistics based on your experience??? if so, is it identical to everything that you read??? if it is you are full of Cr@p.

Asfar as the 20 grain game points being recommended for song dogs, you might want to look at this link, http://www.cci-ammunition.com/defaul...nu=1&s1=4&s2=8
notice the usage key and listed usage for the the 20 grain game point 1 plinking 4 varmints 7 large game. Most every one who is familiar with rimfire game size classifications, large game for a rimfire is generally coyote sized animals........
