I shoot prime coyote, I prefer no exit or at least a small one. Any sort of tear,rip type entrance/exit is extra work and lower value. Even when fur prices are low, if I want to tan the hide I don't want to have long sewed up holes. The Nosler will stay in the head on shots under 200-220 yards, and will exit without big holes on broadside lung shots. I have a pretty good list of bullets(.172-.224) that are not good coyote bullets for me. If I was shooting for bounty/tournament or just throwing them out, WHOLE different situation.
