Best .223 round for coyote hunting?

[CAMPMEAT]

The cheapest FMJ I can find. You're only shooting coyotes. I also have a Rock River LAR 223 and the cheap stuff shoots just fine.

I would go with anything 50 grs or heavier. Just pick one shoot it until you shoot it well, shot placement is more important than
Type of bullet. 40 years of reloading and I sorta wish I had never started,waste too much time and money searching for the perfect combo. Much better to
Load one and stick with it,unless you want to shoot camp Perry. As far as Coyotes are concerned think shot placement. Save a lot of aspirin.

Black Hills bluebox 60gr Ballistic Tips shoot great out of my Rock River 1/8 twist.
I think 60gr is a good compromise between varmint weight and ability to buck some wind.
It's still a .223.

most have my coyotes have been killed with .308, so i dont have as much experience with the .223 in the hunting woods. I would say any of the sp or hp rounds, or ballistic tip would work.. based on what I've seen with the issue fmj rounds, I wouldnt use them unless you are shooting up close. past 200yds they tend to produce a neat clean .22 hole..

In the 223 I like the 50gr NBT, in the 22-204 the 40gr NBT at 3900fps seems to drop them on the spot with no pelt damage and the 22-250 and 5.6x50R Mag I go with the Speer 52gr Flatebase HP.  I find that the lighter V-Max have a tendency to splash at higher speeds.  Most of my coyote hunting is for pelts so damage is as important to me as DRT.

55 grain Nosler Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip. Excellent fragmentation, and great ballistic co-efficiency.

I used the 40gr vmax and loved them for a few years then I had a season of them not working the greatest so I jumped to the 52gr amax and like them I also love the noslers bt in all weights
