Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
What bullet do you guys reccomend for hunting mainly coyotes, and some foxes, and MAYBE a bobcat or two? I want dead critters with minimal pelt damage. Right now I have some development loads made up with 55 grain Hornady Vmax, and 55 grain Sierra Varminters. I have not shot anything yet with these loads, so I am unsure what the results might be.
Ballistic Silvertips or sierra gamekings. Pretty well any bullet from a .22-250 (as long as it isn't 40gr) will drop em. I was out shooting today and the Winchester ballistic silver tips got excellent accuracy from my rifle. Just under 1MOA for a 3shot group at 200yrds
My .223 likes the V-Max ammo, especially the molys. There will be an entrance wound the size of the bullet, but it fragments so rapidly that you don't ever see an exit wound. Some of the fragments may exit, but the holes are very small. Everything I have hit has dropped instantly.
