What do you guys think?
22 LR with 60 grain bullets kill a coyote?

Under Ideal circumstances maybe, trapping point blank execution style probably. Hunting HEEEELLLLL NO!!!!! IMO rimfires do not have the ass to effectivly kill coyotes. I know I will get flamed. I know someone has killed them out to 150yards with no problems, do not care. respect the critter and use enough gun.

I agree, I will probably use my 243 win
Thanks

I'm with Blueprinted on this one.

If I had one in my footholds I have no doubt in my mind that it would kill one. But out under hunting conditions I doubt it.

I have shot some Grey Fox with .22 lr in the frontal chest cavity and never found them

Who makes a 22 LR round with a 60 Gr bullet?? A 40 Gr bullet is the heavyest bullet I have seen in a 22 LR. Years ago I shot a Yote in the rib area at about 50 some yards and watched it run over a hill and could not find it. I have never used a 22 LR round on Yotes since then. Now I, ll use a 22-250 or Swift for yote hunting.

aguila makes a 60 grainer. called the sniper subsonic.
natchezss.com carries these rounds.
They have a ton of energy, thats why I asked about killin yotes, I wouldnt try it with the regular 22lr loads.

Welcome Hotshot. Should have started of that way. About any centerfire is enough to kill coyotes, just as long as the range and the round are on par. I did alot of calling with a 22mag for foxes, first night I had coyotes come in I built a new rifle. I knew with out pulling the trigger I did not have the gun to take an 85yard moving shot. IMO a coyote is about one of the smartest animals on the planet. I know they are detructive and hated, but I have alot of respect for a creature like that. I should not have pulled the pin so fast. Alot of guys on here know their poop. hang out you will like it.

Hotshot:

For very close range, it should work, but it is a bit light for anything but a perfect shot.

Like Blueprinted said, there are a lot of guys here who know what does and does not work.

Welcome aboard.

If you put it in the head most any caliber will work, but a chest shot will probably involve tracking.

Aquila still sells a 60gr subsonic that some use for match shooting but it requires a faster twist than a standard 22lr.

A 22lr will kill a yote but most will die a long and agonizing death. As Bluprinted mentioned; if you revere an animal enough to hunt it, then use enough gun to cleanly dispatch it with one shot.

that ammo is a 22 short with a heavy bullet that will not stablize in any 22 barrel i know of. now as youself - why in the world would you want to shoot a yote with a 22 short????

Thanks everyone.

butchloc buddy, please start from the top post and count down 2, then read what I wrote. It will make this whole thread a little clearer for you... I was just asking for the sake of asking, its quieter than a 243, so if I could use it effectively, I would. If I thought I could not, then I would not..
