I have a 7mm ... and have shot this gun at 300 yards at the range and pretty accurate.
You're all set, especially the accurate-at-long-range part. Your 7mm (Rem mag, I assume) will buck crosswinds at range much better than the so-called 'varmit' cartridges.
Reminds me of an old saying: "Never screw with a guy that owns only one rifle." The implication being that he's so good with it he doesn't need anything else. :)

Sorry, no pics. I didn't see it myself, but he said there was a head, a strip of fur, and a tail. Everything else was....gone!

A little yoddle dog won't have enough mass to even open up most deer bullets, and that bad boy will just keep going.....and going......and going.

I found that federal makes a 110 grain bullet for the 7 mag ... But I figure 110 would not demolish the dog.Oh, I'll bet it would. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Is it legal to shoot a coyote with a .22?
Yes.
You can even hunt Cougar with a .22, wouldnt find me doing it though :yike:

Is it legal to shoot a coyote with a .22?I bought some CCI Quik-Shok Varmint rounds for my 9yo son to use in his 10/22 for coyotes. We havent had a chance to shoot one yet with them - greedy ol Dad keeps taking his dog chances... :dunno: - but I really want to see how they do. I think they are 32gr (or maybe 40?) with like 1650 fps and the hollow-point bullet is segmented to break up into 3 equal parts for better (or worse) damage. Not sure if these are new or what but I really want to see if they will take down a dog. Everyone keeps telling me they will but I dont have enough confidence in a 22lr to -or even his aim let him shoot before me! He does good at the range so I guess I just need to turn him loose. I am worried he will miss, or even worse, hit the yote and it wont stop him then its gone...

Prolly won't be able to use em past about a hundred yards tho i would think.. :dunno:
Post by: trippledigitss on January 18, 2011, 04:23:36 PM
tripple....you should try those rounds yourself first so your confident with the shot placement and then see how the bullet does...Yeah thats a really good idea. I was thinking closer to 50yds if using the 22! I guess I could head out without my boy sometime and check them out. I dont think he would like the idea of me shooting another one without giving him a shot and then using his rifle on top to boot! :chuckle:

Like I said--I wasn't there. Only know what I was told. Hearsay, and info on the internet fall into the same category. They're worth every penny you pay. ;)
I know. I was refering to the guy who told you that. :hello:
