I need some advice, looking for opinions on the most fur friendly round for the .22-250. I always used the 17 Remington for coyotes; however, depending on who you talk with in the Wisconsin DNR the 17 Rem is not adequate (no longer allowed)?? What bullets won't tear the fur all up on exit or striking bone?
Thanks for some direction.

At standard velocity you are looking for a bullet that doesn’t expand at all. AKA. FMJ Although bone strikes will still be a problem due to secondary projectiles being created. The other choice is a highly frangible bullet that completely blows up inside the target animal and doesn’t exit at all. Downside to these types of bullets is they sometimes do exit with large wounds or they “splash “ on wet fur without penetrating the entry side. The third option if you reload is to build a reduced velocity load that is well below the hydrostatic threshold and limit your range as if you were shooting a .22 Hornet. You can get the 22-250 down to 2k pretty easily, and with a bullet designed for 3600fps exit will be very close to entry.

Has anyone had any experience with the.22 36gr varmit grenade or possibly the 50gr? I did a very limited test on Paper but groups were poor so they never got to the fur stage. Testing was in a varmint style.22-250 never tested in a .223.

It's always a crap shoot with frangible's, I've shot my 22-250 and killed a lot of dogs with it, now will only use solids and try to pick my shot as best I can. I've just stopped shooting any kind of hollow point in it.
Same with my 204, but stopped shooting it until I can reload solids for it as well .
If I can take the body shot usually its just a small hole on both sides, with a hollow point if I'm lucky and it does not hit a rib, no exit, if not you learn to sew LOL
Solids just a small hole each side unless it hits bone, then your sewing again.
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

My vote is a 55gr soft point That's what I like out of my 22-250 and 243. Shot one tonight with the 22-250, small hole in, quarter size hole after hitting rib on exit.

talk with your warden he she will be the one who would issue the ticket or warning , they are dong a lot of warnings on things this year with the bad re-write. My warden was going to write the guy in Green County that poached a trophy buck with a 17hmr a ticket for unreasonable equipment in addition to poaching and he was specifically told by his chief and the policy guy , the way it is written if it worked and worked well it can't be unreasonable. 17hmr for a fox or coyote is not unreasonable a 204 ruger is not unreasonable it was really intended to be a list of possible reasonable options but the service center call takers are taking it as only allowable decades of programming on how they read the regs

Shhhhh It's just a reason to get another rifle and scope. But really, if DNR wardens are 'interpreting law' rather than knowing and enforcing said law, then we all have a problem. I will be hunting across close to half the state of Wisconsin. I don't know how many wardens' jurisdictions I'll be in; but, if they all have a different interpretations the only sage answer is the exceed the suggested minimums. Imo, the 17 rem in 25gr hp is a mighty fur friendly round, looking to find similar in the 22-250.

I've tried many different bullets out of my 22_250's but have settled on Sierra 55 soft point. Hammers them from any angle and although it will often exit, they are usually small.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

My 2 favorite bullets are the sierra match king 52 grain and their 55 grain soft point pn 1365 out of my 22 250. Both running around 3600fps the match king i use imr 4064 and the 55 AR comp. Shooting a savage xp hunter. J
