Hollow points will do the most damage generally speaking. Soft points will make a small hole on entry and a larger hole on exit, but shouldn't blow up inside like a hollow point or ballistic tip will tend to do.

Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in with actually bullet to coyote experience. The above answers are only what I have been told or read on predator hunting forums.

I prefer accuracy, so I use a match bullet. The manufacture doesn't recommend them for hunting but I generally don't take a shot unless I feel comfortable that I am going to hit where I aim. The more time I spend shooting my rifle the more comfortable I get with taking different shots.

I have killed a ton of coyote with a stock SKS with a red dot scope using the Wolf JHP's and FMJ's The SKS is not much more than a 200 yard rifle for coyotes given its heavy trigger and ballistics profile. The group size gets too big beyond that. But if you can call them in to 150 yards or less it is a bang - Flop killer.

Since the SKS is a bit of a sows ear I never bother working up a silk purse load for it. Steel case stuff was too cheap and shot well enough not to mess with it. I am lucky enough to have a few other rifles I can grab if I am going to be in open country with longer range shots likely.

i already have winchester whitebox tula JHP and some WPA JHP saved up because of the crazyness goin on

for the drop rate i had already taken that in to account, and ive never shot past 100 yds so right now 150 would be the farthest ill push
