Dunno...... Have shot 'chucks to a whisker under 300 with the 5mm. The .22 Mag doesn't shoot as flat. But a coyote is a substantially fatter target than a groundhog. If he'll stand still, I'll run a coyote in the ribs at 300 with one of my 5's. But it'd be like using an FMJ in the 5mm. The V-Max load for the .22 Mag drops under 1000 fps right at 200 yards. I'm guessing it's running outta gas to reliably be used on coyotes right in there somewhere.

In Maryland we have no closed season on yotes. So, they are a target of opportunity. I just want to kill them by any means possible. They have really impacted our deer hunting the last 4 years. recovery is not a requirement. Just a bonus. The 22 mag FMJ could be my answer, penetration and guaranteed upset with bone impact.. Or the V-max and expansion.. all of 5-7 inches at best.

have shot an assortment of yotes & hogs with the 22mag...the CCI gamepoint load will usually punch on through most coyotes at 100 yards with broadside shots, and will still plow through the rib cage of medium size hogs. With lungs shots, both usually make a short dash & then pile up. Shoulder shots with the Gamepoints seem to pretty often dump yotes right there on the spot.

I believe the Remington 40gr SP that Woodmaster81 mentioned is the same load, which was loaded by ATK and sold by Remington....and, Fiocchi also sells the same Gamepoint load for a bit cheaper price.

For a bit more expansion the Winchester HP has been a favorite.

FMJ, really bad choice. Probably illegal. Second, they zip right through and I have had coyotes not even feel them pass through!!!

Agreed on the FMJ as to penetration. I was pretty surprised when a FMJ went through 6 water filled gallon milk jugs and the bullet was in perfect condition aside from the rifling grooves. I might use those for something edible like rabbits or squirrels, but nothing larger.


My other auto is a .45

I wouldn’t hesitate on a 150 yard coyote. Just don’t expect it to react like you’re shooting a .22-250.
