What caliber and bullet do u prefer on coyotes.

[squirrel_hunter]

Hi i always used a 22 250 and a 22 250AI. And loaded with berger 52 gr hp. But i bought a 204 ruger few yrs back. That has become my favorite coyote gun. I have other rifles too use. But i been shooting even hogs here lately with the 204. Killed my last one running. It dropped and went end over end. I been shooting berger 35 gr hp. I picked few boxes berger 40gr hp . I worked up several different loads with different powders with the 40 gr. To me a coyote coming to a call. Doesn't get much better than that.

Usually use a .223, and a 55 grain either soft point or varmageddon. That said, I will kill every rotten coyote I get a chance on with whatever I have or can get in my hands.

223 with Sierra 65 gr SBT. Last year shot a few with the 204 using a 39 gr Sierra and a H4895.

 

[PossumSlayer]

50 BMG

 

[RUGER]

I watch "Night Crew" on youtube.
A lot of times they use a 22-250 with a 50 grain bullet and most times it doesn't even exit.
Pretty wild.

Hard to beat a 204. Ive got one in Remington R15. Its my go to rifle for coyotes or any other varmints. I shoot Hornady 32gr VMax. Only had 1 splash and its the only dog that took another step. Ive shot them from in the face to right in front of the hams running and it rolls them right over.

 

[Wrangler95]

I have a 25-06 85 grain bullet and a 223 55 grain bullet!!

 

[Hunter79]

204 ruger 32 gr vmax

 

[timberjack86]

I like the old 22 magnum with 40 grain fmj to the head. DRT

 

[2in1shot]

22-250. Winchester 50 gr silver tips are my go to commercial load.

 

[ADR]

.22-250 with 60gr Berger varmint bullets work well

 

[FLTENNHUNTER1]

 

[Urban_Hunter]

Really like my model 7 243 with 58gr z-max over book max imr4895. Not recommended for pelts

 

[redblood]

A superlight 223


Cz 527 has been my go to for over 20 years


I have a lightweight 22-250, but prefer the 223

 

[redblood]

As far as bullet…..any 55 gr sp that shoots well. At 3300 fps, at 35 pound southern yote aint gonna know the difference!

 

[rickyk280]

65 grain Sierra SBT out a 20" Tikka traveling 2900 fps @277 yds. DRT

I use a 150gr .308. Since I got a rec 10 a couple of years ago, this is pretty much what I use for most things. It is accurate at 100 yards, seems to be good at 450, and should be good well beyond. It is good for target shooting, coyotes, deer, ... I like simplicity and consistency. By using one gun, one caliber, one bullet weight (and brand and style) for everything I shoot better and more confidently. I pretty much have the bullet drop memorized, and the app for my scope is on my phone anyway with my setup as the default.

I do have to admit, it would be a bit much for squirrels or blackbirds.

If you aren't saving the pelt, most anything will work. It then becomes more of a terrain issue. In the thick I like a shotgun because things happen real quick. Strip mines call for flat trajectories.

 

[squirrel_hunter]

I have several boxes of 20 cal berger 30 gr hp bullets. They are no longer made. I worked up few test loads. I would like to try them on a yote. I loaded them up for my 204 ruger.

 

[SSlater]

22 hornet or 22-250

 

[BigRod]

12, gauge and 9mm

 

[DayDay]

What sizes of shot works well for 12 gauge?

what brand of 308 ammo do you use?

Generally, the cheaper Winchester PowerPoint. There is a lot more expensive out there, but to me it seems to shoot consistently. Still not cheap. A year and a half I would buy them at Walmart for $17.98. Then late last summer until recently they were never in stock. Now they seem to have plenty at about $27.

 

[rodeojoe]

Whatever I am holding in my hot little hands at the time.

 

[348Winchester]

25-20 WCF

 

[DeerCamp]

Whatever bullet happens to be in whichever caliber I have in my hands.

I've shot a lot of them with a 6.8 and 90gr gold dots, but most of my coyote hunting is done with a 223, and I use a 77gr SMK for just about everything. Works good, across the board.
