Favorite Coyote Bullet

In my 243 I run 87gr V-maxes.

In my 223 I run 60gr V-maxes(mostly).

In my 204 I run 40gr V-maxes.

I must say, the 70gr TSX I shot my last yote with killed it instantly and did nearly no pelt damage. Took a buck with it also. I could happily run it for deer and yotes....
 
For the .223, I will nominate Hornady 50 SX, Sierra 40 gr. HP, Speer 52 gr. HP, even the Speer 70 gr. SP in a 1X12 twist barrel for shorter range thumping.
 
in over fourty years and around 2000 coyotes,bobs,etc. bergers work the best for me then sierra HPBT then hornady HPBT'S.they are also pretty fur friendly.and i have loaded them all trying to find the best of all the things that is needed
 
.204 (which I no longer shoot), 35 or 39gr Bergers (for awesome accuracy), 45 gr for (usually) DRT coyotes.
.223, 60 gr V-max
.243, (wssm) 87 gr V-max
6.5 Grendal, 123 gr Scenar
(above are all ARs)

.308, 168gr SMKs
7mm mag, 338 Lapua (does it really matter?)

(edit: I don't ever save the stinking hide (fur).)

223 Rem 53gr Hornady V-Max New Rifle I'll let you know.
 
I know this is an old post but I'll bring it back up. I really like the 52 gr. Berger Varmint in both .223 and .22-250, one of the most accurate bullets in .224 IMHO. Berger bullets cost a little more but you get that back in the field. A little tougher than the plastic tips so you get a little more penetration with great expansion.
 
.223 = 55 gr Hornady SP, shoots like a dream out of my calling rifle

.243 = 85 gr Sierra HPBT... Only .243 I own is a Ruger No.1 and it LOVES this bullet, but I must confess I have never even taken the gun coyote hunting... My guess is that it would not be very fur friendly at all.
