Looking to use one of the four bullets I have on hand and which one of those is best. The 77gr is not on the mentioned list.
Which of those give you the most confidence of being able to hit a target that isn't there for very long? That's the one.
Any of them. Now which one is most lethal in 12" or so of body depth from the side assuming good but not perfect shot placement because as you mention they may well be on the move.
OK since I have to spell it out for you I will do so. Obviously I want to know what works best and does the most damage in a short 12" path without leaving the body. I swear you guys who just like to jump on answers with derogatory comments and cussing are pretty darned worthless. If you have nothing of worth to say then just stay away.
It's a fucking coyote.
I think they are VMax bought as pulls so not sure. Had a string of four cross in front of me the other day so maybe I will load a few different ones you guys like and see what they do.
I will try the TBBC first as I have a lot of those. I don't know why but there seem to be a lot of Coyotes around here all of a sudden I see them on walks in the daytime now and my friend who hunts my ridgetop sees more now. Fur is not a concern but pets and neighbors calves are.
Looking in my bullet selection, Orange are/were Nosler Ballistic Tips. I hav them in 40 and 55 grain 224 dia. Any of the tipped cup and core have done the job for me in 221 Fireball, 222 Remington, or 223/5.56, and 22-250 if kept in the appropriate range for the cartridge.
Probably but he asked about what he had on hand. In a rare feat for me I stuck to the question asked. Time for a beer!
Correct, and answering the question as asked seems to be a scarce commodity around here at times. I appreciate those who limit themselves to the question asked with relevant comments. Can't give anyone a beer but I can thank those who did answer the question.
Are you planning to hunt raccoons, armadillos and river otters with a 14.5" barreled AR and 2MOA dot sight?
The AR is mainly for the Coyotes. Just mentioning the other critters in passing though I would not hesitate to shoot any of them if it was all I had with me. A scoped 22LR works fine otherwise.
I agree with the effectiveness of a 22LR. Even on Coyotes within range but most certainly the critters listed.
Inside 200 yards I cannot fathom any of those not working great as long as you hit em in the right spot.
Exactly, it is not a real deal yet but will be and with a variety of bullets here to load up why not ask which is best. On the other hand sometimes drive by verbal shooting can be as much fun to read as real answers are. Kinda lets you know how bored some people are at times.
