hunterbrian Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have got a .223rem. I shot a coyote last night with not a great shot but still respectable. I had to put 3 in him and the third did the charm. I am currently shooting remington premier varmint accutip bullets 55gr. I also have a box of winchester bst 55grs I haven't shot. What is the best bullet to use that will give me good knock down power from a .223? Pelt damage isn't a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Good question..........a buddy and I are loading for my 223 wssm and finally got a good grouping with the 53gr Barnes TSX. Not sure if you are reloading or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 That's odd. I've never had a problem killing yotes with any bullet. In fact, they always seemed rather fragile to me. This may just have been a freak occurrence and there's nothing actually wrong with the bullets after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 The Black Hills 50Gr Vmax in .223 seems to do the trick for me with minimum pelt damage out of the AR. Neck shots seem to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshot Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I use Hornady V-max in 40 or 55 grain and have had no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt fanatic Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I use Hornady V-max in 40 or 55 grain and have had no problems. Another vote for v-max. I use them in my 22-250 and when it hits, the moving stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
