Best .20 cal fur bullets
Bought a new rifle in 204 ruger for coyote hunting and misc. wondering what is the best bullet for killing power for DRT kills and for saving fur. i am planning on using 35 gr. varmint bergers or 39 gr. sbk but want some input on how they perform on animals…thanks for your thoughts in advance.

45 gr. Hornady soft point.

bullet
I would have picked the 30 gr. bergers for no exit hole but never tried them on coyotes.

Used to use 35 grain bergers in my 204 and they did really well on fur. Usually just a .20 cal entrance and no exit
|
35gr Bergers hands down.

35 bergers
Speaking of 35 bergers I've noticed that the last ones I bought a couple of weeks ago came in an orange box. That box says bc of .176. The older ones I have came in a yellow box and it says bc of .184. I know that's not that big of difference but I was wondering if anything else has changed with them. I haven't shot any of the new ones yet. Thought about calling them just to see.

Ditto for Coons, foxes and yotes.

I shot a 20 Practical with a 21" barrel some this year. I used 40 grain Bergers at about 3,650 fps. Can't say they are the BEST, but they did a pretty good job for me. I did get some exits on broadside shot, maybe 25%. The exits were all small though and I didn't have to do any sewing. I hit a couple on the fringes that made larger holes, but thats gonna happen no matter the bullet. I only shot 35 or so coyotes this winter with that gun/load, so my opinion could change.
I've got some 35 grain Bergers and 32 grain Nosler Bt's loaded up to try next. |
Lots of people on the same Band Wagon. Berger 35gr MHP for me, as well.
