I'm building a Creedmoor in LR308 wanting an all purpose gun, but my passion is coyote hunting and I like saving pelts. I used to shoot a 6.8spc all the time and always used Hornady's vmax round. I've never had a single round break through the other side, they're an amazing round. My friend shot two raccoons 200 yds at night thinking they were yotes and they still didn't go through!
So back to the 6.5, I'm praying the same round would be just as amazing and not go through too bad. I've read over and over again on the internet people saying "it's likely not a fur friendly round" but I've only found two first hand accounts, one said it didn't go through and the other said it blew a huge hole.
Has anyone ACTUALLY shot this round with consistency and seen what it does to yotes? I know it mists prairie dogs, but what does it do to coyote? I'll be shooting 300 plus yards out, my buddy would take closer with his 5.56
