[Diamondcoyote1]

Hello, kinda new here. I was wondering if anyone has ran the sierra VMK 55 gr in there 243 win for coyote hunting? If so how did they preform? I just loaded up some but our season for coyotes doesn't open until Oct. Hopefully there DRT

I’ve shot the 243 55gr Nosler B-Tips for years and years right around 3700fps. They work great on Coyotes.

Thanks for the reply. What about a shoulder hit? Last yr i was using 70 gr varmageddon in a different 243 win with good results. That was AR platform. Im gonna try running a bolt gun this yr is the reason for the switch and I get better grouping. Im hoping it will drop them with a shoulder hit still

I always aim for the shoulder and if Im feeling it I’ll shoot em in the head.

I prefer a bolt gun myself for a couple reasons.
