for up to 100 yds the 17 hmr is great. little pelt damge, after that the 223 is excellent and cheap to shoot. pretty much any 22 centerfire is good enough. im just partial to the 223

so yall think the .223 would be best and keep my 22. revoler for the closer shots?

wats up 101, as u know, i use a 22-250, and it works great at all ranges, especially for shots 350+...good luck!

223 220swift or 22-250 are all good choices, however nothing beats a shotgun sitting over bait. i have killed piles of these things, and a shotgun is by far the best. Why kill one at a time when you can kill 2,3,4, or 5 at a time if your lucky. bb shot is my choice with an xtra full choke.

About the saboted rounds. they're accelerators. its a 55 grain 22 caliber in sabot. the things are some kind of fast though, and extremely flat shooting out to 400 yards or so. the only problem is that factory ammo is kind of expensive(i bought a box for like 28 bucks). i'm not really sure what kind of pelt damage it does. i haven't had a chance to try it yet. i'll let ya'll know if i try them.

I think the .17 would be a pretty good gun.
