Hello all, first post on the forum.. I like what I see so far.
So here is the deal, I am loading about 300 rounds of 222 Rem for my uncle. He shoots a 700 Varmint.
The rifle is primarily his varmint/coyote gun. 2 years ago he was out calling coyotes and came across a 100lb E. Washington Lion. 222 put it down with no issues. He was using factory 50 grain soft points.
I want to use a more premium bullet like V-Max or Nos BT's or???
The question to the forum is this:
(what bullet would make a good varmint round but still hold together enough to humanely dispatch a Bobcat, Fox, Coyote or the occasional Lion.) Barns and Bergers are out due to cost.
I am sticking with 50 grain fodder.
Suggestion??
Thank you in advance for the input!!!
