[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2756493, member: 122164"] Coyote bullets need to be on the tougher side, and an 8Twist makes them better suited for p. dogs than coyotes. You have to shoot coyotes from all kinds of weird angles, and quartering shots have to penetrate 8-12 inches. In an 8 twist, the Sierra 55g BTHP is an excellent tough bullet for breaking bones and penetration, we used them a lot. I have used 55g Nosler ballistic tips on coyotes from 3350-4050 fps and they never fail to penetrate well. I have a friend that night hunts with a 22/204 shooting the 53's in a 12 twist and he says that he has lost a few past 200, he went to the 55g sierra bthp. All of the Sierra 55g Spt would do well in the 8 Twist. We used 14 and 12 twists from 222-22/250 AI with all manors of 40,45,50, 55g Sierra spt. RPM of the 8 Twists changes the depth of penetration on impact. In my 8T, 22/243 AI I shoot the 80g A max, and this bullet holds up very well. Notice how Iron worker is using the 53g on p. dogs [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/dont-recommend-53gr-v-maxs.155572/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
