Looking for a bullet to load in my .223 that I’ll be using to coyote hunt primarily.. so I’m looking for a good hunting bullet that accurate... Thoight about trying the 64 grain Berger varmit bullets but I don’t know anything about them.. I’m fairly new to reloading too so advice will be appreciated... Thanks
The Berger 64gr Varmint bullet used to be called the MEF (maximum expansion factor) they shoot very accurate but are not hide friendly at all if that is a concern, it has a BC of .287.
My favorite Berger that will shoot in a 1-9" twist is the 70gr VLD, they call it a target bullet but you wont find a coyote that will get away from getting hit with one of these bullets !!!!! it has a great BC of .374.
A bullet I love in my AR's but works awesome in a bolt gun too is the Sierra 65gr game king, you can kill Deer along with coyotes and varmints with this bullet it has a BC of .303.
In the lighter weight bullets the Hornady 53gr V-Max has a good BC of .290 but can be finiky in some rifles, it might shoot great in your rifle it might not. only you can find out.
My favorite's in the light weight are the 50gr Blitzking with a BC of .248, never had a 223 that wouldn't shoot them awesome, or the Nosler 55gr BT with a BC of .267.
I have one rifle a 223 in a CZ 527 that by far its favorite bullet is the Speer 50gr TNT it has a modest but catchy BC of .223
