So I've been using a tikka t3x v in 22-250 14t for thermal coyote hunting. Longest connection so far, 320yrd. Most shots are 150 to 250. I have hornady 55sp, 55gr sgk (lead tip), and 55 varmegeddon. Currently shoot a win v&p poly tip. Has been very lethal with 1 shot kills.. Whats your go to coyote bullet?

My most recent was 12g, pheasant load at ~25 yards!

They’re not hard to kill… hitting them is key. I’ve got a pile of 52gr Amax that work fine and are quite accurate in my rifle.

53 Vmax. Is far and away my preference for that application. Used to use it 22-243 Ackley. That one was rough on barrels in prairie dog towns, but was a coyote laser.

What barrel specs did you have for that? Also, what velocities?

53 vmax is my favorite too. Have coyote kills out to 685 yards with a slow 22-250.

Sierra 55spbt#1365. Deadly and accurate for a chunky bullet. 53vmax very good as well.
This bullet is great especially on quartering too shots when you need more penetration.

I have the same POI for these 50gr vmax and 55 nosler BT. The sierra is my favorite and I haven’t noticed a difference is nosler vs vmax.
