A.22-250 round is the dream caliber for coyote hunting. It features a high muzzle velocity at 2600 fps with a 100 grain bullet. But what other calibers can you use? Here's a rundown of four of the most popular choices. This information will hopefully help you to choose the right cartridge for you hunting needs. However, before you decide to buy a new cartridge, read our guide to help you choose the best caliber for coyotes.
.220 Swift
The.220 Swift caliber has been in use for a while now, but new powders have made it better than ever. The shortened barrel time means that throat erosion is minimized. As a result, the bullet will be out of the barrel before the marksman can sway off the bullseye. This has resulted in a higher resale cost for the caliber.
The.220 Swift ball's critical speed is between 3600 - 4000f.-s. at muzzle and three and-a-half ins. at striking-point. This velocity is why the bullet penetrates and does not burst instantly. The bullet then bursts and falls apart. It is, therefore, a good caliber to use with coyotes.
.22-250
The.22250 Remington is a top choice when hunting coyotes. Its 55 grain varmint bullets can shoot flat enough at 100 metres. The Barnes TTSX is an excellent sighting system for this caliber. It produces high quality pellets. Here's how to choose the best bullet.
The 250 Savage cartridge, which has bullets weighing in at 117 grains, is an older model. Those bullets were revolutionary when they were introduced, and they hold up well today. While this ammunition is no longer favored for hunting coyotes, it is still a good choice for hunting coyotes. Its heavier bullets can damage the pelt of the coyote, and the 115-grain bullet has proven effective in taking whitetail deer and elk.
