Okay, I've been Coyote hunting a long time so here's my .02. I was hunting back in the day with a 30-06 and Accelerators because I couldn't afford a varmint gun. They shot about 2 inch groups so I had to be careful with shot placement and distance but they hit hard and put them right down. I now have a .223 and 220 swift. I use a 55 gr Vmax in both and it performs excellent. I rarely get an exit and they DRT. The key is shot discipline. They are not designed to hit bone and penetrate. With a broadside or frontal shot they are DRT. If you want to just blast at them and hope for the best you will have failures and lost, damaged Coyotes. I wouldn't listen to these so called experts, most don't have a clue.
