Default .17 hmr

Well I was at a local gunshop today and I was looking at a 22-250. Then he pulled outa savage 17 hmr and said I could pop coyotes up to 250 yards. Is this true. I didnt think so, and will still probably get a 22-250 but was just wondering if this sounded right. I thought a .17 hmr was more like a .22 mag and would be accurate at around 100 - 150 yards.
Thanks, Higgins
PS. The .17 was 300 dollars cheaper so I dont think he was trying to cheat me.
