[QUOTE="Reno1, post: 794429, member: 41993"] An FMJ, or a round designed for hunting a much larger animal then a coyote, doesn't simply "pencil through" a coyote. Hydrostatic shock destroys them. A .223 has nowhere near the same energy as a .270, .308, etc. Nobody here is suggesting using .223 FMJ's on dogs. I'd like to hear from those that have experience with larger cal on coyote. I'd say the % of DRT on them is much higher with a large round that doesn't expand, or any large cal FMJ, then ANY .223. Not trying to start any argument. I wasn't sure what a 150g NP would do on coyotes until a shot a few. They drop staright down. Little to no expansion on the round. Relatively small entrance and exit holes. Sure, not the ideal round for a coyote, but more effective than any .223 round from my experience. [/QUOTE]
