Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
What would be your most popular bullet for yotes? In the 22-250 and .223? Been shooting 45 gr soft point.
I mean, full jacket, balistic tip, hollow point?
We're wanting the best knock down with minimum hide damage.
We don't "roll our own", so factory loads are it.

I love to blast them with my .300 Win Mag. and a 125 grain bullet at about 3500 fps at the muzzle. When shot from the front they instantly inflate for about one second.
Well for minimum pelt damage, you would want a full metal jacket at a quick pace, they seem to "zip right through." For knockdown power, you'll want something like a soft point that will retain it's mass througout impact. Shoot a slower balistic tip and you have a pretty good combination.

use the .223 for minumal damage. I shoot my 22-250 exclusively for coyotes, I've shot a bunch of them, and I can't recommend a factory load thatwon't make a mess on occasion. Best bet with the 22-250 is frontal chest shots with any bullet. It seems like the 50 gr. soft point through the ribs broadside leave a small hole usually.
I've seen a lot of coyotes shot with the .223, and most had much less damage than any I've seen shot with the 22-250!

I was wondering the same thing cause i have a .270 WSM and i was wondering if perhaps if i got a really light bullet and what kind,I was thinking FMJ but idk is there any others that would not blow the **** out of them.

I've used the white-box el cheapo Winchesters in my 22-250. They group as well as anything out of my 700...and I've tried win. hornady and remingtons. They are 40 shells for the price of 20. 45gr hollowpoint. (More like crimp-point). Anyways, I've taken two coyotes with them. Both were inside of 100yards and they did the boom-de-floppin without an exit hole. I could see how they may exit at longer ranges after the bullet has more time to bleed off velocity....don't know.

I might just have to have to try and get a new rifle for next year cause i bet my 270 WSM is gonna tear them up unless maybe it was a super long shot or something idk. Im not sue how low of grain bullet 270 wsm goes but if i got a really low grain would it do less damage, maybe not just wrecking it?
