Honestly, I am not going to lie. Initially, I had my doubts on how effective a 17 caliber 30gr bullet at 3,450fps would be on our Ohio coyotes.

The 17 Fireball with a 24" AR-15 Deadshot barrel delivered!

For sure.  Way back years ago when I was in college (90s) I used to use a Thompson Contender that belonged to a friend's dad (because I was a broke college student) in 17 Mach 4.  That thing was an absolute laser and blew up coyotes and ground hogs in Oklahoma.

The 17 Mach 4 and the 17 Fireball are very similar ballistically and dimensionally.
