.22 Hornet
I found a nice Rossi .22 Hornet for about $250 and was wondering if the Hornet is a good caliber for fox and coyotes. i looked it up and it is a centerfire round, with around a 40 gr. bullet.

The hornet is fire when you load it up with a v-max, itll hammer coyotes out to about 150 yards in my experience some will run away. I had a ruger m77 in 22 hornet and loved it, I shot my first hog and deer with it when I was a kid and continued to use it on varmints. Just about perfect rifle for fox and coon a hair small for yotes but itlll do em in. Watch shooting in any heavy wind though.

The hornet is my favorite caliber and I have 22 250 243 30-06 and others. The hornet has almost no recoil, is not very loud and if one reloads it is about the cheapest centerfire there is to shoot. But if I did not reload I would choose another caliber.But it is also a good reason to get into reloading for life and save a lot on all ammo.
