A .17 cal. hornady is good for anything from target shooting on up to coyotes. You have to remember a .17 bullet is smaller than a .22 bullet but it packs 10x the punch and is alot faster and flatter. I have a .17 in a marlin 917 laminated stock with stainless bull barrel it is sighted in at 200 yards. I have dropped a big coyote from 250 yards with it. I shoot the .17 grain hornady vmax bullets.
