[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1428536, member: 2736"] Actually, they held up well. The heavier bullets hold up well when used on soft targets because of jacket thickness and bullet design. One reason I like bonded core bullets is that they seem to expand consistently based on the hit or the toughness of the game. they expand more on hogs than on coyotes and fox. Some bullets don't have this controlled expansion feature and don't do as well on some game. I personally don't like huge exit wounds on game, just looking for 1" to 2" exit wounds on average . I realize that this is not the prefered cartridge for coyotes and fox but if I am caught with a rifle/cartridge that is "Over Kill" I at least like to know that the choice of bullet will offset the energy delivered.
