Then give yourself a pat on the back. You\u2019ve already got a capable yote cannon.<\/p>\n<p>The 223 Rem\u2019s primary appeal is its widespread availability. It\u2019s difficult to walk five feet into a sporting goods store without stubbing your toe on a case of the stuff. But that\u2019s not to say it hasn\u2019t got all the hallmarks of a proper yote load. You\u2019ve got your flat trajectory with adequate stopping power. You\u2019ve also got your wide selection of expanding bullets to maximize lethality, as well as ample non-expanding alternatives if you\u2019re trying to minimize damage to hide and fur.<\/p>\n<p>Hornady Superformance 53 grain V-MAX ammo is an excellent choice for hunting coyote. Its bullet is designed to rapidly fragment apart immediately following impact, which poses the dual benefits of extreme lethality and reduced risk of an exit wound (key if you\u2019re collecting pelts).<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-345\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-345\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">Hornady Superformance 53gr V-MAX (24\" barrel, 0.290 G1 BC)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Range (yds)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Velocity (fps)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Energy (ft lbs)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Elevation (in)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3465<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1413<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">100<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3106<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1135<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">1.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">200<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2776<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">907<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">300<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2469<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">718<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-5.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">400<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2182<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">561<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-16.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">500<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1915<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">432<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-35.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-345 from cache -->\n<h3>204 Ruger<\/h3>\n<p>The 204 Ruger is nowhere near as popular for coyote hunting as the 223 Rem \u2013 but it doesn\u2019t deserve to be that way. It boasts some of the highest muzzle velocities of any cartridge on the market (not as high as the 220 Swift, which we declined to highlight solely because its ammo is generally more difficult to find). That means you can avail yourself of the flat trajectory which helps compensate for ranging mistakes. It&#8217;ll also deliver the stopping power that\u2019ll assuredly ruin any coyote\u2019s plans for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t go wrong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/winchester-204-ruger-ammo-for-sale-204ruger32polyx204pwin-20\">selecting the right 204 Ruger ammo for varmint and predator hunting<\/a>. We consider it a \u201csmall game only\u201d cartridge, so you don\u2019t really have to worry about bringing a deer load to a predator hunt.

Then the 22-250 Rem is the .22 caliber companion you want.<\/p>\n<p>The 22-250 Rem\u2019s greater length necessitates the use of the AR-10 platform (although traditional hunting rifles are the far more popular platform for the cartridge), yet its trajectory is flatter and harder-hitting than either of the rounds we\u2019ve recommended so far. So long as you keep your quarry within 400 yards, the 22-250 won\u2019t make you feel like you brought too little gun to the yote fiesta.<\/p>\n<p>Some hunters do occasionally choose the 22-250 Rem for deer hunting (though it is generally considered underpowered for that purpose, and accordingly favored by outdoorsmen in search of a greater challenge). While any deer load can capably topple a yote, you\u2019d do right to choose a predator-specific cartridge. We recommend HSM\u2019s Varmint series 50 grain Tipped VarmintKing (TVK; formerly \u201cBlitzKing\u201d) cartridge, which showcases the flat trajectory and commanding terminal ballistics of one of Sierra\u2019s best hunting bullets.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-347\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-347\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">HSM Varmint 40gr TVK (24\" barrel, 0.248 G1 BC)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Range (yds)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Velocity (fps)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Energy (ft lbs)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Elevation (in)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3812<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1614<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">100<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">3360<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1254<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">200<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2954<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">969<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">300<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2583<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">741<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-4.8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">400<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2241<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">558<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-14.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">500<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1926<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">412<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-31.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-347 from cache -->\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/.243-win-ammo-for-sale\">243 Winchester<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>The 243 Win is the most versatile hunting rifle cartridge on this list; not the kind of thing you\u2019d necessarily want to use for home defense, but ready and able to take medium game within ranges out to 400 yards, and more than enough to bag yotes past 500. If you could own only one hunting rifle, then a 243 Win would serve you quite well.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll find a healthy assortment of ammo specialized for whitetail and varmints\/predators in this chambering.

These are typically expert marksmen who are harvesting fur at pretty close range. Convention holds that the 22 LR\u2019s maximum effective range for coyotes is 75 yards, and even that\u2019s arguably a little too generous. At the end of the day, the odds of merely injuring the animal are too high to make the 22 LR a sound recommendation to most shooters. You do not want to hear the pathetic noises a wounded coyote makes.<\/p>\n<p>The 22 Magnum (aka 22 WMR) is by no means a juggernaut that offers hundreds of yards more wiggle room for coyote hunting. But with good shot placement, it can humanely KO a yote at 100 to 125 yards. So long as you\u2019ve got the skill it takes to land a clean kill, the 22 Magnum is a swell choice when you want to do everything in your power to preserve pelts.<\/p>\n<h4>Your Choice &#8211; Your Harvested Coyote<\/h4>\n<p>Choosing the best rimfire ammo is pretty easy.
