17 for coyotes
I love my .17 for gophers, starlings & such but it's not ideal for coyotes. I have whacked one on occasion at very short range when it was what I had available and it did the job, but there is just not enough energy/penetration from a frangible 17-20 grain bullet to be sure of a clean kill on anything much bigger than a gopher if it's out there a ways.
