Above a .22?

Question

Ok, bear with me, I am having a hard time putting this in words.

In regards of power, but not size, what would be a step up from a .22 LR?

Also, if I have a .22 rifle, but want to progress, what should I get?

Answer 1

What Steve said 22WMR aka 22 Mag

Answer 2

22mag or a 17hmr --- both are on the small size to kill a  coyote (as far as finding them anyway) but perfect for groundhogs and raccoon.

A 22 hornet or 223 would generally be the next step up the ladder after that. Both are plenty good for what you're looking for.

Answer 3

A .22 WMR look at my link

Answer 4

A 17 HMR is a smaller calliber but capable of accurate shots to around 200 yards.

A .22/250 will gain you a little more distance than that.

What are you hunting?

Answer 5

get a 17 HMR

Answer 6

If you're asking about rimfire .22s then the .22 Magnum is the next step up.  All .22s are varmint rounds though.  If you want to hunt deer move up to a .243.
