Max killing range of a .22 Mag

[JPblind]

Killed a couple dogs under 50yrds. What is the max range you killed a coyote with a .22 Mag?

118

119 yards but only because I’m a slightly better shot than AZguy. LOL

I’ve shot a 22 mag a ton but never thought of using it in a coyote. I cannot see why it wouldn’t work.

A year ago, I killed one at 50 yards with a 22 LR out of a pistol but it ran 150. Luckily I saw a cloud of dust so I knew where to search for it. I won’t do that again.

Neither would be my first choice!

I don't usually set out to shoot coyotes with my rimfires, but have done it successfully several times. Out to 100 yds I really don't see much difference between the 22 WMR and the 17 HMR. If the distance is 150-200, I'll take the 17. I only shoot the 20 gr JSP tho, and behind the shoulder it still works

That said, why not just take my 223 or 243!!

Some of our State game agencies, along with their superior wisdom restrict us to rimfire.

Didn’t it used to say 1 1/2 miles on the old paper boxes? I believe the 22 lr’s said 1 mile. ?

I think she is about done after a 100. We've shot several foxes over a 100 and I have yet to see the bullet go thru.

Yep ?

 

[coloradoman]

I’ll guarantee you that there have been deer dropped with one shot at least 100 yards?
Just saying

The native Alaskans would wait until caribou would cross a deep river and pull their boat up to one popping it in the head with a rimfire tie it to the boat and off to the next.

Careful boys, that sounds exactly like the way one of my better romances began.

At one time in my life, I owned both a Winchester .22 mag rifle & a Ruger Single Six convertable. The rifle killed a couple javelina, a fox & a coyote. They were all DRT, but they were all within 50 yards or so. But I wouldn't hesitate to use it out to 100.

The Ruger accounted for one bobcat & the AZ bear, both visible in this photo. Both were "targets of opportunity" at very close ranges. The lion on the table also succumbed to the Ruger, but it took a few shots.
