Ok ladies and germs, I have been invited to do some coyote hunting with a good friend of mine. My question for you all is, projectile. Gonna run the AR on this one BUT.... I have never loaded a hunting round for it. Just paper. ( killed a bunch of paper ) 16in barrel, 1/7 twist. Hopefully Wes has good projectiles for it. Thanks all!

I love 300 blackout for coyote hunting. It does a lot of damage. No chance they will survive even when you don’t get a perfect shot.

I do the 125 grain BT (Click here) because I also hunt hogs and want that extra little bit of penetration the give...

Most every yote I have ever shot tries to eat it’s ass after a good shot...shot placement looks perfect I really like the follow up shotQuote:

If you are running .223/5.56 I highly recommend the 60 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint projectiles. I get some good long shots in my area out to 400+ regularly and the zmax had too many runners and spinners unfortunately. I decided to try the Noslers mentioned and wow what a difference. they shoot sub 1/2 MOA in my guns now that I've got the loads perfected. The jackets taper from thin behind the tip to thick at the base. This aids in rapid expansion and allows the ass end to retain penetration weight to push through deeper. I have taken close to 30 since I swapped over and not one has ran or did the spinning. Have taken one just over 500 yards recently over a peanut field and he dropped like a rock. Weighed about 40 lbs. Have taken several 300+ and some as close as 15ft away. Every one of them dropped on the spot. The Noslers are boat tail as well and do really good kicking the wind. Hopefully Wes will start carrying these in the future so I don't have to give my money to places that take a week to arrive lol.
I read the OP and immediately thought . . . 300BLK. But I guess he is talking 223/5.56.
What will your range be ?? Called or over bait ??
I guided for coyotes (+ others) while in Maine. To answer - - -> a bullet driven as fast as accurate,<56gr,BT if you will typically be shooting >300yds.
From my 24" AR 223Rem (1:9 twist) I killed several hundred over the years (20+) using the 52gr HPBT SMK and the 50gr NosBalTip. Extremely rare pass thru with good bullet placement. Great for the sale of the pelts.
Also,keep in mind the size of the yotes up there. Tons over 40,quite a few over 50,20 or so over 55. Two just over 60 pounds.
I also killed two wolves up in Quebec with these loads. Both over 90lbs. --- SAWMAN
