.223 amo for coyotes

[204inthe403]

Hello friends, I’m wanting to inquire what everyone recommends for amo when shooting coyotes with a .223, I am skinning after. I currently shoot the super performance varmint 53 grain.

Thanks in advance

I am hand loading & using 55 grain Nosler varmint ballistic tips with great success. Super accurate and with good placement very fur friendly.

I have had good results with 40gr Hornady V-Max as long as you are not too close (less than 70 yards). They usually don't exit.

In my experience Vmax bullets are not great on fur. I have had good luck with Hornady 50 gr sp. Stay away from bone and you will have great results. As for accuracy 52 gr sierras bthp seem to be good, a little less fur friendly but rarely anything crazy. Most bullet choice out of a 223 will provide sew able holes. Shoot face on called coyotes and you will have little issues with any bullet. (so long as you put it where it needs to go and don't skim their shoulders)

I normally load Speer TNT’s or Hornady SX
Dunno if the SX is still made but the TNT’s have always been great with no exits

I really like the 45 grain Winchester shells that come 40 in a value pack. Very accurate and little damage. Also $45 for 40 shells at Canadian tire or Walmart.

52gr hpbt sierra, over 100 yds rarely exit, 50 yds broadside you will have to sew a little

^^^^^This. Cheap but awesome for yotes. I have had great results with this ammo, they are hollowpoints and I rarely get an exit hole. Tiny extrance hole and very accurate in my vanguard .223. Winchester white box.

My uses the Winchester shells also with great results. I hand load a 52 gr Speer hollow point that works great and very fur freindly

Gotta agree with these guys too, Winchester white box 45 grain hollow points. Very accurate for me and great performance on coyotes. Also one of the cheapest options you will find.
