Coyote bullet

[Kurtr]

Got the thermal on the way now need to load up some bullets. This will be 150 yds and in. Right now I have 73grn vmax, 60 grn vmax, 40 grn vmax , Hornady 55 grn sp, 45 grn Speer spitzer, and Winchester 55 grn sp, sierra 55 grn spitzer all in the reloading room. What would be the pick of the guys who have killed a bunch? It will be shot out of 16” ar

Sierra 55. Superb coyote bullet.

There all going to kill a Coyote. It just depends on the twist and what bullet your rifle likes. But I like 55 gr Sierra also.

It’s a 1-8 twist. It’s an ar that I won a cheap one so I’m not expecting anything but minute of coyote. 150-200 max and in.

In my 223 bolt gun I have typically ran 50gr v-max and have never had any issues. But then again outside of some factory loaded stuff for target practice all I have ever used for varmint and vermin is the v-max.

Very interesting. I keep trying different things. Years ago it was 55g Hornasy SX, then Ballistic tip, then 6.5 Creed with 143 ELD-X. This year I picked up 500 of the 6.5 ELD-VT. I think Ill try them in the 6.5 Creed for daytime, and the short little 16 inch 6.5 Grendel with the thermal.
