[QUOTE="6AYoteHunter, post: 1071892, member: 89800"] Never tried that bullet myself but have used other target bullets. Think about what size animal first. Next look at jacket thicknesses and the meplat dimensions. Then figure your impact velocity. Looking at that bullet online I think that hollow tip is going to either help a lot or cause the bullet to fall apart too fast. Hopefully it will expand in a reliable fashion. In my limited testing most target bullets work on a more narrow spectrum of game vs a hunting bullet. I have not seen a target bullet that works well from javelina to elk. Some do work extremely well on coues and mule deer. Others work well on elk but don't open up well on a coues or blow them up too much. If there is not much knowledge of that bullet in follow up posts I would try testing it on coyotes broadside and from the front. See what type of wound channels form at different distances. Any hits will likely stop them in their tracks from that rifle but look at them closer and observe the actual tissue damage characteristics. [/QUOTE]
