LT32, Rem 7 1/2, 50g Nosler in 222 are nothing short of amazing in accuracy. Coyotes flop, crows blow up, squirrels detonate. I shot 40x's and Rem 788's, Rem 700 sporters and varminters.

If you want massive destruction with penetration on coyotes, then use the Sierra 50 and 55g lead tip blitz(excellent in 14 twists) with LT32...this bullet is highly underrated in terms of accuracy and killing on small to medium size animals.

Most 222's are capable of 3/8" and under groups with the Noslers and sierra's, and often very tiny groups. I always used a Rem 7 1/2 primer because the accuracy node is at the top end of the pressure range, but no issues with Rem brass.

All my 222's were 14" twists.

Seat the bullets touching or .005 off the lands for bug hole accuracy.

They shot really good out of a 222 Sako that my bud picked up from shrapnel!
