Hey guys I'm new to the forum and I am looking for some help. I have looked around some but haven't found a lot on this topic. I am wanting a .224 round that I can kill coyotes out around 500yds. So I'm looking heavy, I am not keeping the fur I'm just reducing population. I will be using a .224 Rock river varmint EOP (24" barrel with a 1/8 twist). I have been using black hills 60gr but I'd like to get up to a 70gr with reliable expansion at low velocities. What's your suggestions? Am I thinking to heavy? Can I shoot match bullets? Does a match bullet expand decently? What do you think about all copper bullets?
Ps. I'd like to use this round for deer hunting also.
Thank you for the help.
