[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2282672, member: 116439"] I purchased (8) bricks of Hornady 20 gr XPTs for I about $85 per brick (500) back in the golden ages. I have a Volquartsen 17HMR McMillan Thumb Hole stock that is a tack drive. I used for squirrels and varmints (armadillos/coons/possums). I use a RRA 223 Fred Eichler Coyote Special with a Night Vision D-760 and FLIR for Yotes/Bob Cats and everything else at night. I use 223 SGK 65gr and don't get really any fur damage, but drops them in their tracks. If I want the fur I use this. If I just want a fast kill for Chucks I use a .204 with 39gr SBK. Massive entry wound. Shot this Tom behind the left lower shoulder and went straight through both lungs with basically no fur damage. He dropped in his tracks. I also shot many an animal with the 20 XPT. Some blew in half (squirrels) others like bigger coons/chucks just dropped with massive internal damage. I also use a .204 with SBK 39gr and this is probably one of the most effective calibers to kill something, but along with that massive front entry and fur damage. When I am night hunting for Yotes/Bob cats I always use my 223 with 65gr SGK. Very effective and save the fur if you want to mount or make furs to sell. You can't believe the amount of people that want to buy a coyote fur to hang in their den or Man Cave. [/QUOTE]
