Best All Round Coyote Round?

[chainsaw]

.17 rem. tiny little entrance hole,no exit.

.243 using 55gr Nosler ballistic tips and 44gr IMR 4064. Flat shooting at 3900fps and head shots dont damage the pelt, but I dont hunt for the pelts anyway.

Been using my 220 Swift Ackley Improved, and a 22-250 Ackley Improved......I really enjoy the extra little Ummmph from the improved rounds. Both of them are good out to 500 yards on a not so windy day.

Both of them built by me!

25-06 is pretty fair yote medicine. But the answer to the question, I think, is whatever is the closest when you happen to spot one! I've never actively hunted coyotes, but I've shot a fair amount as 'targets of opportunity' while hunting other animals or fishing.

Any good round that will kill them humanly and with out suffering. I prefer .300 Win as it heps disperse food for crows and other animals that might be hungry/

Golly,I've been asking this same question of some friends and I never looked at it this way.

300WM it is!

How about the 243wssm? Is it worth the money and the cost of shells?
I know,reload and save a bunch.But is the round worth looking into?

Show pics when you get one. I would like to see how the round does. Let me know.

You REALLY don't want them to get up, do you?

 

[clarthom]

that's why i shoot em : )

best all around coyote round is the one that hits them where it counts. the yotes dont really seem to have a preferance.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Shame to waste the pelts with bigger than required or too-explosive rounds. I have some Korean era US medical evac sleeping bags with coyote fur trim and man is that fur soft and warm

 

[clarthom]

i only keep the tail, but sometimes skin the head

I use a Ruger Model 77 30.06 with accelerators (55 gr bullet with plastic sabot) 4000 FPS. Great Coyote caliber ! Also use s Savage in 22.250 ! both work great !

 

[sheepdip]

i thought they quit making accelerators

 

[python287]

Nope they still make them - but they are not cheap - my last box was $35

Rem 700 in .243 - Rolling my own 70gr Nosler Ballistic Tips. It gets the job done......

 

[teflon6string]

I was really suprised not to find 7.62x39 listed here.

 

[fish slapped]

What about this one ???

LiveLeak.com - Denel NTW 20mm rifle. Use in case of Tyrannosaur attack.

I recently went on the Savage Varminter rifle binge. I have both 204 and 243 rifles. I like the 243 option for calling in yotes if cougs might be around. Other wise I an torn between 204, 223, or 22-250. Which ever I have ammo loaded for.

 

[tkdguy]

I have a stock Model 70 A in 22.250 that shoots 1/2 inch groups with Federal premium ammo. 22-250 shoots flat and does not burn a barrel like the 220 swift. Remington 700 is likely a better gun than the Winchester 70--so I would go in that direction. Ruger is nice but not as accurate as the 700. You will never go wrong with the 22-250 and you can shoot deer with it as well. Enjoy!

6mm remington, yotes dont really care what bullet you use.
