Check out the Hornady line of cartridges they make loads with bullets from prairie dogs to deer. I’ve seen the most damage from hot hand loads with bullets that blow up near the surface or on shoulder hits making a big mess.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

250s are bar none the best coyote cartridges made. 50/ 55 grain bullets.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

60 gr Sierra hollow point was fur friendly out of a 243 running about 3100 mv.

Yep. 52 or 53 grn Sierra Match Kings. 52s are the boat tail version and the 53s are not. That's the only difference between them. Speer makes an equivalent in the 52 grn that's just as good. Best fur friendly bullet out there for 22 centerfire IMO. Through the years I've seen them loaded as factory ammo. I can't remember by who though.

I was and still am a big fan of the no longer sold 52gr Amax. Always had acceptable results and accuracy. No bullet is 100% fur friendly all the time. If you shoot numbers of coyotes you will see. Sure, if you shoot a couple every few years you may have experienced a couple perfect results. But depending on angle, distance, bone, outcomes will vary. Death is my first concern, then hopefully no or very little sewing…
Long live the MAGA King

I like a .243 best on the bigger eastern dogs.... .22-.250 will get it done most of the time, but it's a little light in the britches on out there, IMO.

I've tried many different bullets from 40/ 60 grains. Unless they quite making them, I will be a Super Fan of Sierra 55 grain boattail softpoints. GameKings. #1365. Have shot 100s of coyotes from every angle (important) and they just flat out work. When I used to run n gun in tournaments, I'd giggle ( under my breath) when I knew some of the teams were shooting V Max bullets. When minutes count " $$$", I want them dead where they stood, not wasting time chasing cripples. There is nothing a crappy bullet will do then a good bullet can't. Other then save a few bucks. I load mine at about 3650 fps.
