Coyotes vs Sierra TMK bullets

[Ironworker]

Found a nice load for my fast twist 22/250 pushing 77gr Sierra TMK at 3250 FPS . I wonder if they'll open up on a coyote ?

It should open a nice big hole in one. Good luck.

Mind sharing your load information?

The 6mm 107 SMK and 70gr Nosler Ballistic tips sure do a nice job on coyotes, pretty sure the TMK will also.
Good luck!

I've got a 26"Brux bbl ,this is my third Brux barreled rifle I own. All the their barrels seem to be fast bbls. My load is Fed LR primers W-W brass 37.5grs of Re#19 behind a 77gr Sierra TMK .020 .off the lands.

They do not open up at all.
77 TMK @ 2925 MV. 25.2 of Varget out of a 26" WOA. 200 yard dog. Must've hit bone or something as there is a nasty hole. Sewing will be mandatory. SSCOYOTE is using the 69 TMK with his AR with fantastic results.

Didn't open up this morning, either. Just box them up and send them to me.

490 yds. yesterday. 69 TMK @ 3075-223 AI AR. marble-size exit

Sorry, not trying to be a jerk or hijack. They work quite well obviously. They don't have an established track record as of yet, but the performance (wound ballistics) of an acetyl- tipped bullet especially in smaller calibers appears to trump that of a same small caliber BTHP.(SMK) They don't appear to be very "fur friendly".

The 69 @ 3075 fps 9T parameters has given me good performance so far. Only had one that blew up on a 200-yd. dog hit in the hindquarter (took me an hour to skin it). Actually had one stay inside on a small coyote hit high at 75 yds.
