When I was in North Dakota, I use to hunt for fox and coyotes with my .223. I used the 55 gr. FMJ bullets. I only got a small entrance and exit hole. The fur buyers were happy with the pelts I provided for them. I used a mid range load and it worked great.  :D

If  you're going to make a hole, make it a big one.

The 40 and 45g Polymer tipped bullets work well over 29g of Varget. This is over the factory Max, so start at about 27g, and work up from there.
