Favorite coyote bullets
« on: April 26, 2009, 02:27:34 PM »
Just curious what folks are using for coyote bullets. I haven't been sucessful, but am carrying 40gr Ballistic Tips around. I think it might be too light but am curious what other folks are using.

Thanks,
jb

40 grain hornady vmax .223 as long as you hit them in the middle its fine but if you shoot'em around the edges it can get messy

i use 55 grain nosler ballistic tips, not so much because im shooting at coyotes but because i worked up a load that puts three shot groups in one hole at 100 yards and 1/2" or less at 200 out of my AR

50 gr V-Max (Black Hills blue box) or 52 gr TNT (Ultramax)... only because they are overall the most accurate loads for my .223s.

vmax all the way. I have shot a couple of dogs with them now and no exit hole. 40 grain out of the 22 hornet is great coyote medicine.

40,50-55gr vmax, 53gr Amax, 40gr sierra varminter, and 50gr TNT all work great out of a .223 or 22-250 as long as you dont hit the edges. :twocents:

I am using Remington 55gr Accutip.  Haven't been sucessfull yet, however.  I would love to try Blackhills 60gr v-max, but of course-not available.  :bash:
