It’s a crazy accurate bullet out of my Browning, but I want to see a mushroom cloud where the coyote stood.
.257 85 grain bullets are hard. Definitely not an explosive varmint bullet.
True, I’ve killed plenty of deer and larger stuff with them out of my 257wby. That said, it doesn’t take much to kill a 30lb coyote, I don’t think I’ve found anything that won’t work.
