Fishinguy40 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So my AR-15 build is almost done. Just waiting on the BCG, which according to my order status, should ship in about 2 weeks. It is a 16 inch barrel, 1:7 twist, chambered for 5.56/.223. What is the best round to use for coyote? I want a clean kill without massive fur damage. I'm new to this and there are so many options (though they are all unavailable right now with the panic). But I would like to know what too keep my eye out for. Also, what was a fair price before the panic for a particular ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Any balistic tip ammo would be good. No full metal I'm running wisconsin cartridge ammo which shoots good in my gun but it is a lower feet per second round then other brands but I do not switch ammo so it is not a big deal.

gopher_nation Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I run a Fiocchi 50 gr V-Max for my AR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceHawk Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I use ultramax 55 grain hollow points been good to me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan z Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm outta the loop a little bit but i were you i would stay away From loads larger than 65gr and hollow points if ya want a clean fur saving shots.55 gr bullets with ballistic tips should fit the bill great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roosterslayer Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 60 grain vmax works great for putting song dogs down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i agree with roosterslayer. I shoot 55 grain v-max out of my ar and they shoot great. i would stray away from the moly coat v-max cause it leaves a film in the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rost Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 With a 1/7 twist I would look at heavier bullets like the 60 gr Vmax or even heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
