Bullet weight question

[Jakal]

Recommend the 100 grain Barnes TTSX. Never had one not open up. Just not good on pelts.

I looked them up. The 95 grain V-Max should be a better coyote round.

I haven't had the chance to use a 6.5 Grendel on a 'yote yet, but a little bullet experience of mine in another caliber, which should be a similar comparison.

Decades ago, I had a '98 Mauser action rebarreled with a Douglas barrel in .25-06, I finished and installed a Fajen walnut stock. It made a nice whitetail deer rifle using a 100 gr Nosler Partition, but terrible for 'yotes. I switched to a 75 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip varmint bullet, it worked great on Oklahoma 'yotes and prairie poodles.

Edit, this was handloading. Maybe try a 6.5 varmint bullet as others have already recommended while I was typing.

90g tnt, 90g varm and 95g vmax are my top 3 for yotes. As for runners, you will have that with any caliber you use as they are tough critters and it does happen. Shot placement is key.
