How many yards is a 22 mag effective on yotes?
Or accurate for the matter.
Killing power @ 200yds or not so much?

Not so much. Do the coyotes a favor and use a center fire at that range.How many yards is a 22 mag effective on yotes?

I'd like to see support come back for 17wsm, love the round but more rifle choices would be nice. Ammo availability is also a problem these days.
Same here. Unfortunately most small game seasons by me, which coyote falls under, is rimfire only.I tried 17HMR for a bit after someone tried persuading me on using it.
Results were weak.
I would stick to centerfire, but I like the interesting conversation and learning.
Speed kills, 17 hornet at 3650 will drop a coyote easily at 200 yards with a 15, or 20 grain,shot placement is key.been there done that many times, the 17 hmr is weak, and the 22 mag while better is at best a 100 yard coyote killer with a well places shot.Double lung,head or mid neck.I killed 55 in one Summer with a Ruger all weather 77/22M with Win 40g HP. I rode horseback in areas where there were no access roads to get to, coyotes were plentiful. S. Az.
My longest shot was right at 125 yards on a facing shot. Coming in to the caller, most shots were 80 yards and under where the 40g Win Hp did a fine job. Realize you have to have good shot placement in the lungs/shoulder.
17 HMR was dismal to say the least, you need bullet weight to get the penetration you need.
