If anything I say is a no-no please delete. Using CCI Quiet 22 LR with 40 gr. solid going 710 fps. Using a 6" revolver surely much slower. ( PM me for details) What is a good load that will not exit / cause excessive damage ? -Thanks

Exit holes ?

With that barrel, try standard velocity LR hollow point. Or even high velocity hp. There should be no exit holes, or none that matter.

22 short hollow points, but doubt you can find any.

We ran subsonics, cci quiets, and a few others for several seasons. During the .22 crisis trying g to find regular rounds was a challenge but seemed like we could always find the low velocity stuff so we used those.

I prefer higher power rounds now after switching back. Exit holes just aren't a problem generally with .22s anyway unless you are hunting squirrels or rabbits.

Most furbearers have way tough hides in my opinion.

I tried low velocity and didn't like them at all! I've always used cci cb 22 shorts. Never have exit hole and this is coming out of heritage rough rider revolver.

Same here

I use Remington subsonic and the CCi quiet .22 - they both work fine

I have found if the angle is less than 90* the bullet is stopped . PM for more details

Personally I like shorts. They’re quieter than a long rifle and at 3-6-9 ft from the target, there’s plenty of knock down power even if you take a lung shot on a coyote. I’d rather take a head shot but at a nickel apiece, two shots isn’t going to break the bank.

I use long rifles and have no issues

CCI Quiets and Sub Sonics work fine- I shoot shorts out of my Ruger Pistol... No issues on any of these. I like Remington CBee .22 but can never find them

My experience as well with the same handgun. I don't think you can overkill a coyoye.

I USE Blazer CCI and Subsonics alot. Killed over 300 this year, and shot only afew in the head. I know it sounds creual. But Clint Locklear showed me how he shoots them. Right threw the lungs. They die with In a few seconds, choke on there on blood, BUT they leave no blood behind. I do this because when you have 8 to 10 dead coyotes bleeding in the back of a Tacoma in the summer heat, they can REALLY get to smelling.
