The A.22-252 round is ideal for coyote hunts. It has a high muzzle velocity of 2600 fps and a 100 grain bullet. What other calibers do you have? Here's a rundown of four of the most popular choices. This information is intended to help you select the best cartridge for hunting. To make sure you get the right cartridge for your hunting needs, we recommend that you read our guide before buying a new one.
.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. Because the bullet is out of the barrel sooner than the marksman can swing off the bullseye, it will be less likely that the marksman will experience throat erosion. This means that the caliber has a greater resale potential.
The.220 Swift bullet has a critical velocity of 3600-4000 f.-s at the muzzle. It is three-and-a half inches at the striking point. This velocity explains the bullet's ability to penetrate, but not instantly. The bullet then splits up and falls apart. In other words, it is a good caliber for coyotes.
.22-250
The.22-25 Remington is an excellent rifle for hunting coyotes. The 55-grain varmint cartridges are flat enough to shoot at 100 yards. The Barnes TTSX is an excellent sighting device for this caliber. It also produces excellent pellet quality. Here's how to select the right bullet:
The 250 Savage is an older cartridge with bullets weighing 117 grains. These bullets were revolutionary in their day, and they still work well today. This ammunition is not recommended for hunting coyotes but it is still an excellent choice. The bullet's heavier bullets can cause damage to the coyotes' pelt. However, the bullet of 115 grains has been effective in killing whitetail deer as well as elk.
