[QUOTE="6XCShooter, post: 983831, member: 50815"] Yeah I always seem to be trying to find the best balance between a caliber and bullet that will blow up inside coyote (not exit) and one that will buck the wind and shoot well out past 400-600yds. In my experience the smaller polymer tipped bullets really hit hard so long as they impact within their designed velocity envelope (which is [U][I]usually[/I][/U] under 4-500yds) The longer, heavier, higher BC, VLDs buck the wind and fly better at longer ranges but almost always blow on through a coyote sized animal. If I hit a bone,,, the exists can be significant. If I miss a bone,,, I have had a few appear to pencil through but in every case enough shock or internal damage is done to dispatch the coyote in fairly short order. I like the 6mm 's 6x47, .243, 6XC etc ....maybe just bit on the overkill side for coyotes within 200yds but able to reach out there. No they are not very fur friendly but these TX coyotes don't seem to be much for fur anyway. Again my Primary goal is to HIT the critters and dispatch quickly & humanly [/QUOTE]
