Need help picking a 223 bullet for coyotes

Now when a trapper friend of mine, was collecting fur, I used a lightweight bullet that would fragment inside and not give an exit hole. However one must be very careful not to drive that bullet to fast, nor do you want to strike the shoulder with your bullet. You don't want to end up with a 3 inch rose hole on the entry.

Big 5, has given you what to expect from bullets in general! YOU must choose that bullet and velocity as well, distance will also be a factor. I have used my rifle using light bullets and hitting a shoulder will leave a 3 inch rose wound, not good for fur buyers!

I used to try and go with a 55 grain bullet (not a hollow point!) solid base and slow them down to 2800fps. This seemed to work well for me under 200 yards. It is simply a chore of experiment in that regards, trying to keep damage to pelts at a minimum. My little .222 was great for this kind of hunting and shooting job. I used Sierra bullets back in those days, now I use Hornady for the most part. I don't save fur pelts any more though!
