I tried the 36gr in my 22-250 last winter for coyotes, they are very accurate but not heavy enough for coyotes. First day out calling I shot three coyotes all within 100 yards, one square in the chest and the other two broadside shoulder shots. All three died, but all of them ran at least 200 yards before collapsing. Anyone of them with my normal load ,52 gr HPBT would have dropped in their tracks. Barnes is now making a heavier 55 gr for the 22 cal. but in the 204, for coyotes anyway I doubt you would be happy with the results.
