[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 22149, member: 3"] I've use the 125 Ballistic Tip for a lot of critters a few years back, (groundhogs, deer and wild hogs) they kill well and are accurate. I used the 125 TNT in a subsonic load and they worked well but don't expand at those low velocities. At 350 yards you'll need to examine the remaining velocity to determine expansion or disintegration. I'm thinking for coyote you'll be fine with most projectiles as long as it dosen't hit a big bone and fragments scatter all over. Most folks that know me will understand when I say to try the 175 Sierra or the 155 Lapua Scenar. They're accurate and at thse distances aren't too likely to cause too much pelt damage. I'm big on using the same round for everything, there's never a doubt as to the trajectory and a good bullet will kill nearly anything when well placed. Plus you'll be albe to shoot whatever shows up (providing it or you are in season). [/QUOTE]
