Huntsman, I do value your experience and opinion.

While I agree that the 20-gr v-max can be devastating with proper bullet placement. Wouldn�t a 25 grain bullet with a slightly tougher jacket design offer a little more flexibility / forgiveness in shot placement?

Personally I would only feel comfortable taking a broadside shot or quartering away on a coyote with the 20-gr v-max. On the other hand with 25% more weight in a 25-grain hollow point and a somewhat tougher jacket construction I might consider a frontal shot as well with a Hornady 1710 for instance. JMHO
