Blackhole BUllets 80g .224 bullets?

[zr600]

Anybody here try the Blackhole Bullets 80g bullets in .224? I'm thinking about trying these in my 22-243 that I use exclusively for coyotes. Was wondering how they are on fur and accuracy?

I've wanted to try some of their bullets but web site sucks. If they would post more info about the product it would help

Never shot that bullet, but I have shot some of his 17's. They are accurate.

Did you use the 17 bullets on fur or was it just for targets? This will be for coyotes so I was wondering how they are on fur? I'm currently shooting amaxes but haven't shot a coyote yet.

Oh ya if you need more information about the bullets just give them an email they are good about getting back to you. I know wish they had more information about the bullets on the site.

AMax bullets are not very fur-friendly in my experience. A .224 75 grain AMax will punch through a coyote at almost any angle and make a statement on the way out, especially at the velocities that you can achieve out of your .22-.243. I don't have a recommendation for you, as I really don't care about preserving the fur, but I have used the 50 grain Hornady SPSX bullets at close to their limit of structural integrity - they come apart if you push them too fast - and they tend not to exit.

The 75 & 80gr Amax will blow through a coyote...and at .22-243 velocities they will cause extensive damage.

2nd that opinion. I shoot 75 gr amax in my 22/243 and you will not be happy if you want fur
