I don't own a .17 rumfire, so can't give you firsthand info.

However, the overwhelming consensus of opinion of the predator hunters I know is that even the .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire is insufficient for coyotes. The Mach II would be even less effective.

I feel sorry for you due to your state's idiotic regulations, but under those laws, I'd sticl to the .22LR and use Velocitor ammo.

The .17 Mach II should be used on game no larger than two pounds, in my opinion.

Save yourself from injuring the coyotes. Use a centerfire if you can.
