As long as you don't hit bone they will likely work, if you hit shoulder bone they will blow up without penetrating in my experience. I lost two I like that, I could clearly see the impact and the blow up but it never even slowed them down.
If the bullet slips in between the ribs I think that it would work fine but if they are running that is hard to do.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.

On coyotes, I've had poor luck with 32 gr bullets - too many surface splashes.
I went to the 40 gr Nosler, and never looked back.
While they almost always exit, the exit wound is ~ dime sized. Never have had a splash with one.
Many have liked the V-Max, but I believe the Nosler is a tad "harder". Shoots well for me - I have no complaints.


I've always been a curmudgeon - now I'm an old curmudgeon.
