What round for coyotes?

Dont use FMJs. After exiting, who knows where that bullet is going to go.

If you use basic gun safety rules to be sure of your target and backstop, this should not be a problem. Obviously nobody should be shooting coyotes with a neighborhood or school in the background.

Michigan, I will make sure I take pics if I get some with the 6.8mm VMAX 110gr.

I contacted the DOW and it is legal to use FMJ's for small game.

Thanks! I've never used VMAXs before, but i've heard pretty good stuff about them. Are they your dedicated hunting round?

I have shot lots of coyotes with the Hornady 75 AMAX from my 22BR. I have yet to have get away.

Ummm.. for the guys recommending FMJ type ammo:

It is illegal to hunt any game in Colorado with FMJ. Per regs you must use an expanding type of ammunition like a soft tip or hollow point.


So don't recommend to anyone that they hunt with it please.

better check your source and go read cdow regs. you CAN use fmj for yotes. they are small game. no fmj for big game. i still say use the fmj unless you go buy a box of ammo. then get v max or hp ammo. i highly doubt you will need more than 20 unless you run into a enormous pack of yotes or you are a horrible shot.

I clicked the wrong box and ordered a 100 rounds of the VMAX. My intention was for the reg BTHP(same price where i get them). I have never hunted varmints before so they maybe my dedicated round in 6.8, time will tell.

What he is saying DD is load all of your mags to the max and bring extra rounds for the few yotes you will see, at least H is backing you up
