[QUOTE="Goofycat, post: 356603, member: 6504"] I have used the 55-grain Nosler Ballistic Tips for coyotes in my .22-250. They do not penetrate as well as I feel they should, but they do get the job done. The BT is great for ground squirrels (absolutely disintegrates them) and Praire Dogs, but I would opt for a more penetrating bullet for coyotes, and would stay away from BTs if saving pelts is important. The BT is meant to fragment more than the other Nosler bullets and does so at impact, rather than staying together for optimum penetration. I am speaking from my experience only; Nosler or others might disagree. I have loaded some Nosler Accubonds, but have not tried them out. Also, I feel that the Sierra bullets would be worth a try, but again, I have not reloaded Sierras for the .22-250. The Sierra bulletsmiths always have been a lot of help. Call them on the phone.
