17 HMR & Coyote
If the shot placement is good and the range kept under 100 yards, the Hummer does just fine on them. This one fell to the 17 grain Hornady out of my CZ American 455. Bill K

Sounds like the old dog knows all the good tricks already. Patience and shot placement trump spray and pray.

Shot placement absolutely critical with such bullets.
I’ve had splash wounds on small fox when hitting a rib, even when using a 17 Remington with 25 grain bullets. It sure doesn’t kill them first shot when that happens, and sometimes they manage to get lost to die elsewhere. Not good. Ken.

An Indian lad up here thinks his Savage HMR is the best coyote rifle he's every had. I think he uses either the 17gr. HP or the 20gr. HP. He says one shot kills, DRT, right out to 150yards on called coyotes. He also said 200 yards was pushing it too far. A close range wolf that came in to his predator call, 75 yards was also DRT - one shot kill. The wolf was not a big one, though - no more than 120 pounds.

17 hmr
The HMR is a little killer! I've had no problem killing yotes with mine. My buddy said the HMR is the best beaver gun he's ever had! And this guy has killed some beaver!!!

17 hmr
Fastest HMR 2,600 to 2,700fps.! Big difference in that an 4,000fps! I've got good penetration out of my HMR out to 100 150yd.

I hope Saubier doesn't turn into a "can a 17 hmr kill a coyote" site. @235 fpe I think would knock mr yotes lights out no problem. Put it where it is suppose to go and it will do its job. Bill, how much did it weigh? We have some big coyotes here in the northeast. Around Feb/Mar. when in full coat and pushing 60-70 pounds they look huge |
