Well I’m not a “so called expert” by any means nor am I a novice. But one thing I do know is that Hornady Superperformance 53 grain V-max ammunition DO NOT WORK EVERYTIME! I’ve had at least 3 duds since December 28th, 2017. Two of those were shot out of my T/ C Venture, one from the bench and one at a coyote. The 3rd was the 1st time I pulled the trigger on the bobcat that’s in my profile pic to the left of this post shot from my AR. The 2nd bullet went in her throat right where it’s touching the handle on my Foxpro. That bullet worked great at just over 200 yards, POI was where I aimed and there was no exit hole. That cat probably weighed no more than 18 lbs, she was sitting down looking straight at me wondering what the noise was from me racking the second shell due to the 1st dud. The bullet stopped about 3/4 way through her neck. That’s about 3-31/2”s of penetration. There is nothing in a bobcat’s neck hard enough to compares to a coyote’s rib or shoulder blade. Like Rock Knocker said “they’re varmint bullets”. I’ve killed coyotes with them all this season, some exit and some don’t. Most are DRT, but as I stated in my earlier post I had 3 this year that I firmly believe splattered on impact. I do know it wasn’t due to me just “blasting” at them. Coyotes don’t flop on the spot and lay there before jumping up and running off due to bad shot placement, but they very well might when a bullet exhaust all of it’s energy within the first few inches of impact due to hitting a bone. That’s my non expert opinion.
