.223 Varmageddon reports?
Anyone been killing coyotes with Nosler's Varmageddon .223 55gr FB polymer tipped?
Just wondering about kill and fur reports if anyone would care to share. One of my rifles really likes these rounds and it would be great if it is good fur ammo. Thanks!

My 22-250 loves them. No exit wound.

I've not had a chance on a coyote yet but I've used a bunch on gophers. They seem to open a little slower than the vmax. Gophers get ripped in half versus exploding.
Very accurate bullet for me.

I've only used the factory ammo, but you can get the bullets by themselves as well for reloading.

I love reloading, but hate the status of components and powder in Canada

Gotcha. I misunderstood the question. Yes, reloading components are getting harder to find.

Varmageddon Bullets in the USA
I was in the Cabelas store in Eugene Oregon. They had tons of these bullets in different calibers. I asked the salesman about powder. They didn't have any.
He meant none. He said that when they did have some they only allowed two
pounds per customer. They hadn't had any powder in a month.

Finally got to connect with both a badger and a coyote with these in my .223 last weekend. Badger had a nasty exit wound, very close range shot at a bad angle! The coyote was just over 200 yards and took a hit through the lungs and heart, with a very small exit on the off side.
