I just want to do as much research as possible before I go on my up comming hunt and not be like most idiots and find out for themselves by trial and error.
I commend you for doing the research to get ready for your hunt but you can end up looking to deep into a question without using a little trial and error. For example, the V-max bullet seems to be about a 50/50 split on whether it is fur friendly or not, which side are you going to choose and why? If you choose either without trying it you may not be doing yourself any favors. Most of the questions you have been asking are ones that come down to opinion and are not always able to be proven one way or the other. Combine that with the fact that you are asking opinion questions from thousands of strangers from the hunting/shooting community, which are only rivaled by fishermen, golfers, lawyers, and weathermen for their ability to shade truths and massage numbers as needed, and I would think the need for some trial and error would be required.
Didn't mean to get down on you earlier but I just think you are spending too much time analyzing how to kill a 25lb coyote. Just want to make sure you don't overthink this whole thing and keep your mind clear to see the dogs in the brush rather than worrying about ballistic charts in the stand. Bottom line is the .223 with the 60gr V-max will work well for you within its limits.
