What caliber and bullet do u prefer on coyotes.

[BigRod]

12, gauge and 9mm

What sizes of shot works well for 12 gauge?

 

[Speedwell-Hunter]

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.

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.

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.

 

[thirdwilliam]

another vote for whatever I have in my hands. If specifically targeting them, probably my 25-06

I've had a Savage 110 .223 for years but, never killed one with it. My nephew borrowed it for awhile and killed 2 or 3 with it though. My handloads with 55 gr. Sierra. The only ones I've killed were with .308 and 150 gr. Hornady Interlocks and .50 cal. MZ with 240 gr. XTP, and 12 gauge with Win. Longbeards #4 shot. Ran off a couple nice gobblers, so I shot him.

Shot one on the Clinch River while Flyfishing with my .40 cal !! He came down for a cold drink and got some hot lead

 

[RockMcL]

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.

My go to has been 223/556 usually left all year with Fusion 62gn so I can brain shoot a deer in season.

Maybe not a full list but off the top of my head: crossbow bolt, 22lr, 45 colt, 357 mag, 45 acp, 50 cal ML, 12 gauge, 308, 243, the truck.

What at hand...

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.

I like the .204 and my Ruger is extremely accurate with 45gr soft points but can't us them on coyote (lesson learned). The 40gr Hornady red tips do well on them without making a giant hole.

 

[Billboy]

223 in my AR with 50gr VMax works pretty well.

Trust 125yrds? Love my S17. My go to for farm gotta go critters. Let's just say IceT started and band for it. Ground hogs @ 100 aren't a problem. I just like it better than my 243 cause it's quieter.
