As a guy who's had both a .22-250AI, and a .22 Creed… I wholeheartedly disagree.

Love the high-speed footage.
Another curiosity….. why shoot HH (or any mono) in the Ultimate Coyote Rifle (unless required by law)?
I've shot truckloads (literally) of coyotes with big .22 Centerfires, including a few dozen with a .22-250AI. Coyotes aren't big, they aren't thick, and they don't offer much expansion medium for bullets.

60G Berger puts a big hole in coyotes at 3700 fps in my 22/250 AI.
I would love to see some holes put in coyotes with the Hammers, with and without fur.

75 Amax at 3500 out of my .22-250AI absolutely pole-axed every coyote I shot with one.

Yeah, the high speed video camera is pretty sweet!
The HHT's did expand very well in the gel block in the 1st 4". Our Ohio coyotes can get over #50 in weight. My record is a #57 male just North of Columbus.
I just shot a smaller female last week, about #20 with the 68gr HHT. Texas heart shot at 200 yards. Wasn't pretty!! Lol.

Thank you!
Out here in the West, I've only personally seen two coyotes that actually weighed over 50lbs… both of them were big old red colored males.
For a couple years I carried a little luggage scale in my pack, and never weighed one over 42lbs… in fact most of them were in 25-35 pound range.

Our Ohio coyotes have wolf genes = coy wolf's.
I hunt in 3 counties that have the documented wolf genetics in our coyotes.

We have a red wolf strain in our coyotes, plus various dog strains including great Dane. Coyotes have a straight tail, dogs have a curved tail as a rule. Kill'em all those fawn eaters.
My load is 37g of Win 760, 60g Bergers, federal 210, Remington or PMC brass, 3700 fps. Brother, let me tell you, the 60g Berger massacres coyotes. I shot a bobcat in half on a 100 yd shot while he was watching fish sitting on a pond dam.
My fiancé is from Sandusky County…. I think her attitude occasionally shows some of those same wolf genes!
