    Default .22 Mag For Coyotes At Very Close Range
    At point blank range (50 feet or less), would I be able to kill a coyote with a .22 Mag (Remington 597)?

    Yes. It will. Any time you can shoot a coyote is a good time.

    Assuming your bullet placement is correct, then yes.

    shoot the federal 50 gr and they'll work to 100 yards or so.

    A well placed shot with a bullet at a reasonable range will kill "almost" anything.

    Good luck on killing some coyotes !!!

    yes , but s said shot placement is key here for sure
    even a .22 will kill at 50 ft if it right!

    I would not depend on it.
    Except at


    "At point blank range (50 feet or less),"

    At that range a good shot gun with # 4 buck would be better even.
