well,i hear on hear of people kiling them with a 17hmr,isnt that a smaller bullet.and with 22mags,theres ammo where the 22lr will give the gun 22mag performance.

As for 22lr ammo that shoots as good as a 22 mag, no there is not a cartridge that compares. Now a 22lr CCI Stinger shoots faster and better (IMO) than a Remington 22lr that comes in a box of 500. But, it still does not shoot as fast or accurate as a 22 mag.
My suggestion, buy a 22-250, .223, .243 or just use your deer rifle for yotes and groundhogs.

RE: .22lr
Ah. the age old question. Can it be done? Yes it can be done. I've seen it done with a 22 but it took 7 shots to finish the darn thing off. Should it be done? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I don't recommend shooting any coyote with less than a 22 mag.

RE: .22lr
DO NOT USE A 22 LR FOR YOTES. You will wound way more yotes than you would kill. In fact you probobly would never kill a yote unless you unload about 5-10 shots into it. And then you still would only have bout a 10-20% chance of killing one. Not even with a 22 mag. Use something like a 223, 204, or a 17 rem. Thats what i use cause i'm a trrapper and tanner. now if ur trapping use a 17 mach 2, 22 lr, 17 hmr, or a 17 athena and dont even try to look that up because you wont find it. Im one of the only ones if not the only one who really really really knows about that caliber. I have those special made and its not cheap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
