[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1772137, member: 109113"] The high shoulder shot would probably knock them down reliably, but doesn't always kill them - another round through the chest cavity may be necessary. A solidly-built animal like a pit bull cross would be a good candidate for the 22 magnum. A number of guys have commented that the 17HMR would be their preference, based on their experience with coyotes. That sounds pretty good to me. Since shot angle and wanting to drop them right now is a big factor, I wouldn't feel confident in the 22LR for this kind of work. While I've killed some surprisingly large animals with the 22, it is not a reliable knocker-downer. [/QUOTE]
