I plan on using 223 for yotes, it shoul dbe plenty adequate for my area it seems. I have used ballistic tipped bulltes on P dogs...Shold they be used on yotes or not? The fella I went with P doggin supplied the ammo so I have no idea! My shots for yotes will be no more than 200 yards here. Dont really care what hide damage results. I am more concerned with clean efficient kills.

They are "clean and efficient" for sure. Use them with confidence!

I use 55 grain b/t's in my 22-250 on yotes and it anchors them. I have had a few pass thrus leave a large exit hole though.

The poly tipped bullets will anchor coyotes just fine out of a 223 at 200 yards with a solid hit. Not to worry - go calling.
