[QUOTE="Mike Liane, post: 2438, member: 575"] After 35 years of killing fox and coyotes I am convinced that the only good shot is a non exiting shot. I shoot the Nosler 50 g. Ballistic tip exclusively in my 4 .22/250's and probabaly go throught more than 1000 rounds a year. The only exits I get on coyotes is if I make a bad hit on the edge of his outline (ie: an inch below his backline). Then the bullet will blow out. Fox I try to set up facing me from 125-150 and if I do my part I won't get an exit. I'm a fur buyer and have been a wild fur processor for 30 years. After conducting thousands of "autopsies" I believe that any exit is potentially a blown up pelt. Back in the 70's before the ballistic tip type bullets we all experimented with solid jackets to try to prevent damage to those $70-$80 fox. The truth is shattered bone does just as much pelt damage as a fragmenting bullet. Try to keep the bullet inside the animal and you'll be much more satisfied with the result. Back in the 70's we had little choice but to become experts with the needle and thread. Today we have much better bullet choices. [/QUOTE]
