Description
Functional Identity
The Gold Country Coyote 55-grain .224 bullet is a purpose-built varmint and small-game projectile engineered for rapid expansion and decisive terminal performance.
Crafted with precision and performance in mind, this jacketed hollow point, lead-core bullet is designed for high-velocity .22-caliber platforms, where immediate energy transfer and fast terminal response are critical.
It is intended for shooters who value clear purpose, consistent accuracy, and dependable field results—not generalized or crossover bullet designs.
Why This Bullet Exists
The Gold Country Coyote was designed to deliver fast, predictable terminal behavior on small game and varmints.
Its jacketed hollow point geometry is engineered to initiate rapid expansion on impact, while the lead core supports controlled fragmentation and efficient energy transfer. The 55-grain weight was selected to balance velocity, accuracy, and responsiveness across common .22-caliber varmint cartridges.
This bullet exists to perform decisively within its intended role—producing immediate results without unnecessary complexity or overengineering.
Bullet System — Gold Country Coyote
The Coyote Bullet System is optimized for high-velocity .22-caliber cartridges used in varmint and predator applications.
Design characteristics include:
• 55-grain construction optimized for velocity and stability
• Jacketed hollow point profile for rapid expansion
• Lead core tuned for controlled fragmentation
• Precision-formed copper jacket
• Hand-swaged concentricity for repeatable accuracy
The result is a bullet that combines stable flight behavior with aggressive, predictable terminal response inside its intended engagement distances.
Ballistic Profile
The Gold Country Coyote prioritizes practical field performance rather than extreme ballistic optimization.
Key characteristics include:
• Flat-shooting trajectory at typical varmint velocities
• Stable flight at short-to-medium engagement ranges
• Terminal behavior focused on rapid expansion rather than deep penetration
This bullet is designed around real-world varmint distances, where immediate response on impact matters more than maximizing long-range drag reduction.
This Bullet’s Primary Platform Usage
The Gold Country Coyote 55-grain .224 is well suited for common .22-caliber varmint cartridges, including:
.223 Remington
An excellent match for standard and lightweight varmint rifles where accuracy and fast terminal response are desired.
5.56×45 NATO (varmint-appropriate loads)
Suitable where legal and appropriate, with attention to platform configuration and velocity.
.22-250 Remington
An ideal high-velocity platform for maximizing the Coyote’s rapid-expansion hollow point design and flat trajectory.
This bullet is intended for short-to-medium-range applications where decisive terminal performance is the priority.
What This Bullet Is Not
For clarity and proper application, this bullet is not intended for:
• Big-game hunting
• Ultra-long-range shooting
• Barrier-blind or penetration-focused use
• Match or competition shooting
Its role is dedicated varmint and small-game control.
