...Driven fast and hard, yes, they expand violently, usually. Had a couple hit shoulder bone and you could walk through the hole they made....others pass through and leave a dime sized exit...you never know what you're gonna get...
Ive also used some downloaded bonded bullets like Speer Gold dots, and those worked well...
Until his untimely passing, I used to give one of good friends, a trapper, most of my fox pelts. Since it's not legal to use fmjs in Ontario for hunting, I had to find a compromise. That was lead tipped bullets slowed down. I use Hornady VMaxes to get rid of smaller pests, but for coyotes, I stuck with 50 and 55 gr. SPs.
If the biologists are right, I might have to consider something like a 45-70 for the hybrid coyotes.
Some MNR guy said as the hybrids spread, expect a 25% size increase. I don't know if that is true, but if an average coyote ends up weighing 50lbs or more, I will up my game and use a 6x45mm.
