I like my 17HMR out to 175-200 yards when shooting small furry critters. I use my .22WMR out to 100 yards when shooting heavier small furry critters. I don't recommend either for coyote, or hogs. Just not an ethical shot in my book. That's why I have a .223, or .308. With the new .22WMR from Hornady 100 yard shots on raccoon, nutria, rabbit and such is much easier than it used to be. The 17HMR is great on ground squirrel, p-dogs and rabbit out to 200 depending on the wind.
