Got the puppy out

You might also try the Hornady 40 gr. VMax , and the equivalent 40 gr. Sierra in your .222. I've never had an exit wound w/ either in a .223 Rem (27 gr. Hblc2 powder). The only problem w/ these bullets for coyotes is they will scare you about 1/2 the time before they collapse even w/ a solid chest hit. We also found the Hornady 53 gr. match or the Sierra 52 gr. match HP were very good on coyotes, and little pelt damage w/ solid hits; they are a little overkill on the fox side of things.

Additionally, the 40 gr. bullets were great on fox, if you have any in your area. Very few had an exit wound.
