Hey all! I shot a coyote with my .220 Swift this weekend, 42 gr of H380 and a 55 gr V-Max. Chrono says they are traveling 3901fps. I hit her high in the back just off the shoulderblade. If you imagine the shoulderblade as a clock it struck about 11 o clock and put a 4'' hole in her... she was broadside at about 200yds. I love this load! it shoots great and has some authority! but i was wondering if i could pick your brains about a different bullet that might not explode as bad...this being said i love the exlposiveness, and half of the hole is my fault since i didnt put the bullet in the vitals. Do you think that if i would have put it in the vitals it would have not made such a hole? Would it have exited? I still kept the hide anyways. Just thought i would like to hear your input.
Thanks!
Henry.
