Description
When the goal includes both precision and the condition of the pelt
Predator and varmint hunters do not all want the same terminal behavior. A soft point may be preferred when faster, greater expansion is the goal. A hollow point may be chosen by shooters who also value precision and want a less expansion-forward option when pelts may be kept or sold.
This listing is for 100 component bullets. Cases, primers, powder and load data are not included. These bullets are hand swaged in small batches, made to order and normally ship within seven business days.
Why choose the 55-grain Coyote
The Coyote combines a copper-alloy jacket, lead core and hollow-point nose in the familiar 55-grain .224 class. It is the lighter hollow-point choice beside the heavier 69-grain Scorpion and the 70-grain Viper soft point. Hollow-point construction does not guarantee a small exit, preserved pelt, accuracy, expansion or a particular field result; velocity, impact placement, animal size, target medium, twist rate and the complete load all matter.

Choose construction before making the claim
Compare the 70-grain Viper when a soft point and more expansion-forward design intent better match the job. Compare the 69-grain Scorpion when a heavier hollow-point precision component better fits the rifle and intended range.
