9mm carbine ammo for coyote at 75 yards

Why not get a scoped centerfire rifle like a .223 or .243 at a minimum? Unless your positive of getting one shot kills on the animals.

 

Are these coyotes being baited to be able to get that close in daylight/ dusk? Or maybe you have a great blind. Why not just throw out some poison and watch from cover to make sure a dog doesn't get into it. Here's a link to an article about a poison that kills the animal in 30 seconds. https://hofstra.github.io/coyote/sources/coyote-as-varmint/newspapers/arizona-republican-poison/

 

I would use whatever ammo that is most accurate. Anything that goes through both lungs is going to kill a coyote, they aren't exactly grizzly bears. The hide/skin isn't as tough as a whitetail even. I've killed one with a .22 before and I've killed one with a .410 with 4 shot.

 

That is a Government project poison. Used by the Gov. only it seems in an experimental area of AZ.
Most States have strict laws against using any poison of any kind to kill even a coyote. Best to talk to your state Dept of Natural Resources first. Both fines and jail time usually occur if caught in any state with laws against poisoning animals.

 

If you can scope your HP and shoot 5" groups at 100 yds that should be good enough if your target is only 75 yds or less.

 

Thanks for the reminder OO! Yes, poisoning animals and the purchase of the poison would need to go through a county or state office. In my state you can shoot animals from Raccoons to Coyotes on your own property, without a hunting license even, if they are doing damage to property or livestock.

 

I agree with the @riverrover and the @Rachgier that you really need a high powered rifle, but I like the detailed question and intelligent breakdown. Many here are getting good groups at 100yds (some get 2" groups) with (formerly) cheap 9mm NATO. I know it works well in my carbines too, I've never shot at 100 but it groups very well at 25 and 50. I agree that a hollow point would be better for this. The 124gr is about the limit, I think HP warns that most 147's are excessive OAL and cycle poorly. Someone else will likely verify that. Sadly, I sold my 995ts and never replaced it. Love my 4595 tho!

 

The older fella at the Sporting goods counter claims he has been hitting coyotes @500yds with a proprietary scope. .17HMR!

I'm no hunter. Right now in my area it's whatever happens to be in stock with the 9mm. JHP's are few and far between.

 

Ummm, on it's surface, that seems to be challenging the laws of physics a bit. WAY more info needed, because it's more than twice the distance of prior unverified claims I have read. The longest shot even claimed (read it on the internet!) was 235 yd and dood killed a bobcat. It's not that the boolits won't go that far (they will) but a tiny 17gr to 20gr will not have much left!

On second glance, the claim is "hitting" 'yotes, not Killing 'Yotes

 

Use a Mosin Nagant.. if the round doesn't kill it the fireball will incinerate it.

 

...expecially the M-N Carbine

 

Going after coyotes with a 995. Not wise. You do realize they shoot back, right? And they ain't using no Hi-Points.



You need a much better plan.



Because they are already three steps ahead of you.

 

I seriously doubt that. Whats the drop on that? 3?? Whats his scope the hubble? And is he by chance the turd that took his ball (account) and left.

 

You can’t even see a coyote at 500 yards.
It’s like a medium size dog...with camo

 

You ever decide to get rid of the 4595, Mole, you'd best remember your spotter. He already has the JHP
