Default Nosler trophy grade varmint

Im shooting the 55 grain nosler trophy grade 55 grain in 22-250 and am finding these really blow the **** out of coyotes. My gun absolutely loves the ammo, but am thinking of switching to the hornady stuff. Anybody else shooting the nosler factory ammo for coyotes?

I had that problem with my 220 swift although it was only when the coyotes were under 75 yards. I never had a problem with that ammo again once I strayed to shoot them farther out before they had a chance to come in too close to me.

I've two over 200 yards and it just tears them up, bad. I might try the 50 grain nosler stuff, and then switch.

Default Varmint Grenade

I would try using the 36 gr. Varmint Grenade. They explode inside, no exit damage. only thing I found was my Tikka T3 22-250 does not like this bullet. you need a great than 1-10 twist to stablize the bullet.

I am using 55gr Varmagedons I hope they aren't this bad. Will have to shot some coyotes first

Default Nosler

Nosler suggested the lead free Ballistic Tip for coyotes!

Try the Hornedy 52 gr Amax in your Tikka , shoots great in mine , very few exit holes .
