There – off in the distance. Do you hear it? It sounds like … coyote. A big swarm of the things, headed right this way to harass our pets and livestock and piddle on our newly planted holly bushes.
Don’t just stand there. Do something! Order a whole case of Remington UMC 223 Rem ammunition and teach the coyote that our pets, livestock and landscaping are not to be trifled with!
This cartridge – which is built for all manners of varmint hunting – is loaded with a 45 grain projectile. That’s lighter than usual, which coincides with higher muzzle velocity than usual, which produces a flatter trajectory than usual. With that advantage comes the same drawbacks (as usual): poorer long-range performance and wind drift resistance, relative to a heavier bullet.
Remington says this round’s G1 ballistic coefficient equals 0.173. Our ballistic calculator says that represents the following:
0yds: 3,550 fps | 1,259 ft lbs | -1.5”
100yds: 2,953 fps | 872 ft lbs | 1.3”
200yds: 2,431 fps | 591 ft lbs | 0.0”
300yds: 1,965 fps | 386 ft lbs | -7.2”
400yds: 1,562 fps | 244 ft lbs | -23.7”
500yds: 1,242 fps | 154 ft lbs | -54.6”
This round’s JHP does well on smaller targets, but it is not advertised for deer hunting or home defense. It could manage either application in the hands of the right marksman, but better bullets are available for engaging larger targets than coyote.
