A buddy of mine uses a 17 on fox and bobcat, he uses the 17gr Hornaday V-Max with good results!.
Just taking a shot in the dark here, but I think he is being sarcastic.
Sarcastic! whos being sarcastic? Im just giveing the facts of what I seen, I beleive the 17 outdoes the 22mag as far as performance and accuracy. I'm fixing to put a 17 barrel liner in my 22mag right now instead of getting a new barrel for it!.
I would love to see the facts where the 17 outperforms the 22 mag....Dont think you'll find any. Ya the 17 is faster and probably more accurate out to 200 yds. but in no way does it pack more of a punch than the 22 mag!

But on another note, im with you stating that the 17 is powerful enough for a fox/bobcat/coyote.
