Most UN fur friendly bullet for 22-250 and 243.
« on: May 14, 2013, 03:48:31 PM »
Question for those that are in the know I am looking for the most fur UN Friendly bullet for 22-250 and 243. I mean I want something that is going to almost explode and leave a coffee can size hole on exit or at least the largest possible exit hole for the 2 calibers mentioned. Granted for a bigger hole use a larger caliber but gonna start with the small stuff and work my way up through 06
Say hit em between the eyes and take the whole back of the head off

Anyone shoot the Barnes Varmit Grenade and have experience with results on critters? Maybe TOO frangible for Jingles desired outcome?

I save fur so I can tell you what hasn't worked for me. 

6mm 62gr VG at 3600fps left a softball+ exit on a double lunger, 55gr Nosler Lead Free hasn't exited.

6mm 65gr V-Max big holes, 58gr V-Max no exit on our bigger dogs up here, brutal on little southern coyotes

Haven't had any problems with the .224 but don't shoot anything over 50gr other than the Speer 52gr flying ashtray.

Bigger V-Max in the .224 moving fast might be spectacular.

I don't understand throwing away $50 bills by blowing up coyotes.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

If I was able to get more per animal I'd consider saving the hides but fur buyer only Paid $15.00 all winter and if I'm only gonna get that for a good pelt I'll just let the da*ned things lay in the field.
And Yes I am sick and twisted but never know when you might need a good explosive bullet for something other than coyotes.

Jingles you're a sick twisted individual, I like it  :chuckle:

I own both calibers and the 55 gr nosler ballistic tips in both calibers are wickedly destructive more so in the 243 hornady v max bullets leave a mark too

Both bullets in both calibers leave a mess that compares to a rob zombie horror movie

I have shot the 53g Hornady V-max bullets through my 223 and I have loaded some up for my buddies 22-250 needless to say that the 223 does not pack as much punch as the 22-250 but it will does some sever damage with dinner plate size holes left!

243 58g hornady Z-Max Zombie rounds will do some serious damage to the hides as well!

I'm in the same frame of mind but... $50 :yike: ?

Maybe you're talking $50 / 3 coyotes and not $50 for each :chuckle:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Throught the slump I've been skinning them and sending them out to be tanned and selling them from $60 to $70.  Skinned, fleshed and streched many folks were averaging over $50 this past season.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I run the 75gr VMax in my .243 at around 3400fps.  It does absolutely nasty things to ground squirrels.  I know you're talking about coyotes, but the ground squirrels I've hit with a 22 Mag and 22-250 with 52gr bullets have been nothing compared to the .243.  The 75gr blow things up
