Is the new Remington .17 Fireball a Good caliber?

I was wondering if the new Remington 17 Fireball was a good caliber for coyotes. I've been waiting and have enought money, so i am in the process of choosing a gun. I assume it is Centerfire, but if you know, let me know for sure. Will it do damage to the barrel since it such a high velocity? If you know about how much bullets are compared to like 22-250s could you let me know?

the 17 fire ball is a center fire round it is a 221 fireball necked down to a 17 as far as using it for dogs you will be very disipionted the supper lite bullet will be efected by every thing around you the wind will move it alot if it hits a blade of grass it could be deflected a drop of rain can explode it in mid flight it is siply a target round i agree with some of the others that the 22-250 would make a very good round
if you shoot factory load most 22-250 will down a dog at 300 yards easy and you canpurchas the ammo fairly cheap ive not seen ony of the 17 fireball ammo yet but i expect it to be around 30 dollors a box of 20

the 17 fireball has been around for years until now it has been a hand load only it was also known as the 17 mk III
