I attended a seminar for coyote hunting last weekend and the speaker said he shoots only soft point and doesn't like a ballistic tip or hollow point for coyotes and generally shoots them in the head. When asked why he doesn't like BT he said more penetration.
Is this really an issue with Ballistic tips? Have i been using the wrong ammo for coyotes this whole time?
I would say that this guy likes to hear himself talk.
55g Noslers penetrate.
Sierra 52,53 Hp and their 55g bthp are good penetrators with 22/250 & Ai velocities....52 speers...not so much. He should have qualified his answers.
