I’ve shot lots of them, a 50 grain ballistic tip out of a 223 is a coyote killer if you hit them correctly. That 50 grain bullet or a 77 grain won’t kill them quickly if you gut shoot them.


My favorite 223 bullet for coyotes, and also for bobcats, is a 50 grain VMax. I've killed a lot of them with it, and it's also very fur friendly.
