I live in Rhode Island. So there's my first problem.
I can only use a Rimfire Cartridge, no larger than .22
.22 Magnum is acceptable to hunt for Coyotes.
April 1st - Sept. 30 I can use Centerfire cartridges no larger than .229 which is fine. Come April I have no problem b/c I'll use my .223 Ruger Ranch Rifle to hunt with. But for now it's a toss up between the .17 HMR or a .22 WMR.
Any help, advice or feedback if you own the .17 HMR. I already own two .22 long rifles
Thanks
