Dave, I love the 55g Nosler BT on yotes. They seem to be a different animal compared to the 50g BT.
You mentioned that you have had ? luck on the 50g BT on quartering shots. I shot a coyote in the head at 320 yards with the same bullet and it did not penetrate the skull, muzzle velocity was 4200 out of a long barrel 22/250 AI. They are meant to expand very quickly, and if more guys analyzed their kills, they would not be so talkative
on their results. Shots from the A$$ end from a lot of bullets leave a lot to be desired, especially 40g bullets.
I know there are a few fellas on NoslerReloading.com that use the 55 gr BT on deer. Their claim is that is is a tough little bullet.
I have only killed one coyote to date with the 55 gr BT but I dropped him in his tracks with a lung shot. Not the best picture but it does show the exit wound which was about the size of a nickle.
