Been trying to chase down a coyote/varmint friendly bullet for the 6.5 Creedmoor.
Some have told me to give up the search because its just too much gun for a coyote/varmint.

Had super high expectations for this bullet.
Lesson on function over form.
One of the most accurate bullets I've loaded to date. Will make a great target round with its boat tale design and high B.C.
Too bad it doesn't perform as I expected.

The shot at the raccoon looked low. Play it in slo-mo and watch where the reticle is.

Bad shot on that coyote too. Looks like the impact mostly blew off his (near side) front left leg and that's it. Maybe it struck somewhere near (or below) the brisket line but above the elbow. You can actually see his leg flopping around as he spun around and limped off.

This still image is from the moment you shot. The POA is too low on the brisket.

You're aiming too low. I definately wouldn't say those are good or solid shots based on what I see on the video. Sorry if that's harsh.

I agree completely with dirty dog. Give the ammo another chance and aim center mass. Double lung kills faster by lack of oxygen to the brain than a heart shot bleeding out and double lung is a much bigger target.
 
I shot 7 Coyotes and my buddy shot 4 this weekend. All were shot during the day using my .243 Savage and he was using a Ruger M77 22-250.
My Savage is running very well with Hornady Superformance 58gr vmax.

Didn't have a single runner, shot placement is key.

Have you sighted in your rifle during the day/night to see where your bullets are impacting on paper?

All the shots looked low and back in my opinion.
