[QUOTE="Redneck357, post: 796845, member: 42150"] I've shot many coyotes with a .308 from 15 feet to 950 yards and with anything from a 147 gr FMJ to a 185 gr. VLD. I guess it's kinda cheating using a tractor as bait. In a matter of about 30 seconds I shot 3 coyotes with 147 grain FMJs with varying results, one blew out both shoulders DRT messy, one a double lung ran for a bit and piled up pretty clean wounds, the other took one behind the ear pretty messy. There have been times where a coyote took a 175 gr behind the shoulder and it ran, other times they'll for lack of better terms turn inside out. All I can say is that bullets do funny things depending if they hit bone or just soft tissue. When any bullet hits bone the effects are drastic. It's a coin toss on what an FMJ does and it's a pretty sure deal what a good expanding bullet does. I prefer any expanding bullet over FMJs because the potential for a DRT shot is a bit higher. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
