Ridge is that guy that hangs around and keeps the rest of us humble! In the right hands, placed properly, the rimfire mags will do a lot on coyotes. Guys like ridge are like the slim fast commercials with people that lost 100lbs, it happens, but he's the exception, not the rule. If you're a long poker, then you know your range capabilities. If you're not, then the .17hmr does the job for most guys to around 150ish.
