Home Forums Reloading Varmint Rifles Best 7x57/7mm-08 coyote bullet?

Lot of good suggestions. After it has been accurized, I'd load a series of known accuracy loads with the various bullets and see which one offers best accuracy. Then I would fine tune that load.

Anytime I’ve killed a coyote, it’s been when I’ve been deer hunting. I’ve killed more with a 7 mag than anything.

120 BT is a stout bullet for yotes, I use it for deer well. Have shot yotes with little expansion but they died for sure, I have used a 100 grain Sierra Hollow Point running fast in my 7mm08 and it is a yote spatter round if you hit the shoulder or spine.

I figured I too would use it on deer/antelope, so it would be good practice in the off season. I also have some 120 Vmax to try.

I'd shoot the 120BT and the 120 Vmax and see if they hit about the same, of course the 120 bt will work just fine as well

Not sure if they still make them but I have some sierra 100 grain flat base that I got in a package deal from a reloader that was getting out of the game. I load them down as plinkers for the grandkids. like shooting a .22. But I am sure they would be bad coyote medicine if shot at full speed.

Good luck getting the 120's to shoot accurate, I never could in my two Winchester 7x57's.

Last Mod 70 FWT I had back in the mid-90s was finicky also, hoping for the best with this one.
