Here is the one that did drop right there.
317 yrds sitting and looking in my direction. Frontal shot.... furthest shot this year.
He was 40 lbs

While I lived in Northern Nevada I hunted coyotes and tanned the hides. I used a 22-250 with Sierra 1365 Gameking.very accurate and fur friendly.Sierra also makes a 65 gr. Gameking.I used H4350 powder.
 
I got the 62 gr ELD-VT to try in my AR since it was a 1 in 7 twist not bothering to read they don't load in AR mags. So I was going to try them in my bolt 223 but its a 1 in 9 and shoots 55 gr VMAX so good I can't justify wasting powder to try them.
 
I’ve had good results with the 62vt with a 20inch 22 CM. Velocity at 3520fps. Furthest kill has been 389yards and closest has been sub 75yards. Around 26-28 killed with it this past year and late last fall.

To me they’re very similar to the 80 eldvt (which I’ve killed a lot more with). There’s either a tiny hole or a giant hole and carnage. The big holes have mostly come from hitting shoulders or spine.

I haven’t been as detailed in autopsy pics with the 62 kill shots but here are a few of the bigger holes. Everything else has been minimal as far as damage. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the bullet.
