[QUOTE="johngibbs222, post: 1879285, member: 49619"] I've never seen a coyote here in the UK let alone shot one but my 223 likes barnes 50 grain varmint grenades. They are turning around 3400 fps in my 22" barrel ruger #3. Two chest shot foxes one at about 100 yards the other about 150 yards no exit holes and liquified internally just like it says on the box. Initially I thought the ad blurb was bs, I sighted in at 100 yds and aimed at the 2x2 target frame, just 22 cal holes all the way through, then tried it on gala melons and granny smith apples, very violent. Apparently they don't start to disintegrate until 2" into the victim. Headshot rabbits decapitated, chest shot rabbits eviscerated on the spot and what I said about foxes above. I used cfe 223 powder btw and measured the mv with a magnetospeed sport. [ATTACH]187975[/ATTACH] So I'd say spend $10 on a box of them and give them a try, you can always get the 204 anyway. You will probably be getting in excess of 3900 fps in a 22.250, not too far behind a 35 grn 204 load, if at all. [/QUOTE]
