I am sure vmax works too, but NBT are slightly more stout and less likely to splash.
It is important to stick with heavier bullets in .223. 55gr +
If you shoot something bigger, bullet selection matters less. No coyote is going to survive a solid hit from any .243 projectile...
Shooting in the head seems like a great way to miss and or wound a coyote. I would never choose a head shot unless all I could see was the head poking up over a bush. That is a really small target, even broadside the heart and lungs are only like a 5 to 8 inch target under all that fur...
I am using the Nosler Varmageddon BT. I hear they are a thinner jacket so would this give "splash"?
