In all my 20 calibers I use the 32 grain Nosler lead free. Works great on everything I shoot, from small squeeks to coyotes.
Now in the 221FB and some other .224's, I have used the Hornady 24 grain NTX and it smacks them good. Bill K :)

There are quite a few member posts proclaiming the Berger 35 gr FBHP as the most fur friendly bullet. I use it as my competition bullet of choice. We have annual Postal Challenges on this site. We missed this year due to COVID-19 but I'm confident that we will get back to normal next year.

Check out the hunting boards on this site or do a search for 35 gr. Berger/coyote.
