Guest bronco_mudder Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 If all your shots are going to be under 200 yards, I'd choose the .22 Hornet. It will serve you fine at those ranges, but you would want something bigger for anything beyond 200 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwa Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection .222 and the .223 would be great choices. They are accurate and cheap to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection Welcome to the Forums!! i agree with jcwa, for accuracy and mininum pelt damage, i'd go with the .222 or .223! i use a .22-250, but that can do a little damage on the prey that i use it on, mainly groundhogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection I will chime in for the .243 Win. Nice varmint round for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshot Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection I agree with jcwa up to 200 yards a .223 is super with little damage, what i use and i have no problems up to 300! very little damage and the best thign cheap to shoot!

Guest lilcrackshot Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection 17 Hornet would do good. Leaves a small hole so you don't damage the pelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modillo Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection i would not recomend a 243. i would use the 22 hornet before the 243 on yotes.iwould also look into getting a 22 mag for the closer ranges. the 220 swift is a good one for long ranges.

Reloader Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection Don't have one yet but I'm looking forward to the new .204 Remington...If you are gonna buy a new gun anyway it may be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Re: Firearm Selection You might consider either a .22 Hornet or .222 Remington loaded with FMJ's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
