This is why people think (rimfires) .17/.22 lr/wmr/hmr are ok for coyotes.
THEY ARE MISINFORMED OR WRONG.

Don't know where you got your information but it is WRONG!
.22 long rifleaverage velocity1700 fps with 40gr bullethas119 ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards.
.22 WMR average velocity of 2000 fps with 40gr bullethas160 ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards.
36gr bullets little faster less energy at 100 yards.
.17 rimfireshigher velocity less energy at 100 yards.
.22 hornet with velocity on the low end of 2500 fps with 40gr bullet has261 ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards.
hornet reload with velocity of 3100 fps with 40gr bullet has423ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards.
45gr bullet at 2700 fps has 500 ft/lbs of energy at 100 yards.

This being said center fires have it hands down (hornet being the smallest .22 center fire comercially avalible.)
IMO rimfires for coyotes is like using a 7mm for elephants under perfect conditions they will work BUT in hunting not all things are perfect.
PLEASE HAVE RESPECT.USE CORRECT CARTRIGDE/BULLET COMBO FOR THE GAME YOU HUNT.
