".22 magnum

I have been wanting to buy one for some time."

It's a great round and hollow point .22WMR's are very effective on coyotes...and also very illegal for that purpose in California because they are a rimfire round.

In my experience, a 30-06 is too powerful for coyote control on small farms, but I have dispatched many with an old 45-70. The slow-moving round will obliterate a coyote and won't keep going for miles if you should happen to miss.

big and slow - a good philosophy sometimes.
