36 Grain Varmint grenades

[Megalon]

So I am probably going to get some flack back on this but I was getting ready to skin this coyote today and thought I would use this as my example of a good fur friendly round. I loaded these for my 22-250. They are 36 grain Barnes Varmint Grenades. This coyote just dropped dead in his tracks. Range finder said about 114 yards. First photo is the entrance wound. Second is the other side. Now when I skinned him the internal damage was massive. Now I know many of you don't like these bullets but I am really pleased with the results.

Exterior looks promising for those who collect hides but 1 is hardly a big enough test group to be conclusive.

I like the Hornady Lead Free 35 gr NTX bullets out of my 223 Rem. You can get both of these bullets close to 4,000 fps out of a 223 Rem.

I will have to try those. It always surprises me that at one point I was completely against lead free bullets. Now am am a huge fan of them. The Barnes TTSX rounds. I use those for deer and Judas Priest do they work well.
