[QUOTE="Korhil78, post: 620099, member: 34818"] Just a question and another suggestion. Why do you want to go with a smaller caliber when you are going to be doing quick shots at coyotes and such? I have attempted some quick shots on coyotes with a 220 swift and have hit them a little far back. Those yotes ran FOREVER. I knew that they were going to die but I never found them. I don't like to make any animal suffer after being shot even though I can't stand coyotes. I switched to a larger caliber (6.5 Grendel AR) and have never looked back. I use the Nosler 120 gr. BT and it works awesome. If I hit them a little far back, it doesn't matter. If I hit them in the hind legs, it doesn't even matter because that 120 gr BT breaks bones all the way through. Not trying to sell you on the 6.5 Grendel even though it is an awesome Coyote cartridge. But I am trying to sell you on going with a heavier, harder hitting round. [/QUOTE]
