100 Grian .22lr bullets?

[Silver Bullet]

Would a 100 grian bullet... from a .22lr put down a coyote?

If ir will.... then from how many yards away?

 

[Stu Farish]

Where can you get such ammo?

 

[Silver Bullet]

a place by me called eds guns!

 

[Stu Farish]

Who makes the stuff? What kind of velocity do they claim?

A 22lr rimfire cartridge with a 100 grain bullet....lmao

If it gets out of the end of the barrel it might go 10 feet...lol

I think you read the box wrong. You sure it didn't say 100 count?

 

[Bagheera]

I've never heard of .22lr ammo heavier than 60 grains, and a normal .22lr barrel doesn't have fast enough rifling twist to stabilize it well. I doubt there's a .22lr gun made that can shoot a 100-grain very well even if it does exist and the trajectory would closely resemble a very short rainbow.

i dunno... it might of said 100 count... but i'm sure it said 100 grain bullet... i'm getting some more so i will look on the box and get back to you....

 

[Silver Bullet]

just found the old box... oops... it doesn't say 100 grain... sorry boat that... but it says the mid range is 100 yards.... would that kill a coyote????? it it will from how far???

The 22lr question is one that pops up over and over again on this board. The short answer is, Yes, a 22lr will and has killed many many coyotes. There is no real debate on that. But if the hit is slightly off, it will wound, maim and leave a coyote to die a horrible slow death. The ultimate choice is yours to make. But please do the coyote a favor. If you aren't absolutely sure that your bullet will go into the brain cavity and scramble everything there, don't shoot. Call that coyote another day.

Couldnt agree more loco, it is good for small stuff but nothing bigger than a prairi dog or jackrabbit.
