We loaded some up when in Canada with my son for deer, his go too load for Coyotes in his 22 250 is the 50 gr Ballistic Silver tip and the TSX shot very close to the same point as the BT. My wife shot a nice whitetail buck with the TSX out of the 250 at about 50 yards and poleaxed it. Interestingly the projectile came out in about four pieces suggesting the petals broke off. I know the velocity is a lot faster from the 22 250 but at 222 velocity I think they will still be good and probably hold together better. I have loaded some 50 gr XLC for my 22 250 and some 53 gr XLC for my 223 to try out.
