Just curious as i am not familiar with the ballistics of the .17 HMR. My friend wants to use it against coyotes on his property. He doesnt want to make a lot of noise. Is it enough to kill a coyote? Thanks.

Not the ideal round for yotes. Yes, a head shot will stop them.
22 Mag is the least powerful I will go after them with, but I prefer the 223 or 5.45x39 for dispatching them.
Good to know that the .17hmr can do the job. I don't care, there's no way to give my friend any advice. He's one of those that when he's got it in his head to do something a certain way with a certain method, he's unchangeable.
Thanks.
Oh, and he's stubborn about sighting in any of his rifles. He's got two ARs with optics (EOTech and Sig Romeo) both have never been zeroed. He can hit a beach ball at 10 yds with the EOTech gun as I've seen him shoot it once.
If he's got to do a head shot on a coyote with that new .17 rifle he just bought, we can all pray. LOL.
