.223 bullet choice for DRT coyote shots

[Oh Mah]

What are some of the favorite .223 bullets for coyote that anchor them right there?

[Bofire]

I shoot 55 minimum prefer heavier. I have had bad luck with "grenade" varmit type bullets on coyotes. I like soft points. I think people shoot 223 further then they should on coyotes, they are very tough animals.  I try to limit my 223 to 300 yards, which is plenty for calling.

50 grain vmax

[MHWASH]

I like the Hornady 55 sxsp. Super Xplosive soft point.

[CackleBird98]

Nosler varmageddons.  You just won't ever be saving a hide 

[pashok23]

I shoot 40gr winchester.

I've shot quite a few different bullets for coyotes in 223's, but my favorite for the last few years has been the 53gr Vmax.

vmax and btips are great DRT bullets on yotes

[Threewolves]

Hornady 52 gr BTHP match, as with any bullet just don't hit them around the edges

[birdshooter1189]

50 gr V-max and 50 gr Z-max.

Recently loaded up some 34 gr Dogtown hollowpoints from midwayusa.  Haven't tried them on coyotes....yet.

55 grain v-max. Killed a ton of them from 20 yards to 300, all dropped in their tracks. Frontal shots normally won't have an exit hole, even at close range. 95% of the hides are good to save.

I use a 62 grain soft point. I bought  500 of them about 5 or 6 years ago. They work good. Here are a couple recent kills.

If you want DRT results,Keep in mind I have not called in and shot many Coyotes but the ones I have in the last 20 years prefer the Speer #1035 52 Grain H.P. Load some up with 26 grains of H-335 and you will have a excellent fur bullet.Never had a runner with this load,But I do pride myself on good shot placement.This is by no means a HOT load, Its 3050 from a 16 inch 1 in 9 twist .And to be truthful I have yet to find a 223 that did not group well with this load.Try it you will like it.

thanks for all replies,I went thru all my reloading supplies and found 3 boxes of 100 52 grain Hornady BTHP Match bullets.#2249.Ill give them a try.

What i have been using has either been a punch thru and run into den or total fur destruction about 1 out of 4 times.

[Jerry malbeck]

those should work just fine.

[Oh Mah]

Ok thanks
