[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1885798, member: 109113"] The 7mm exit wounds reminded me of some coyotes I have shot with full-sized rifles. Once on a Sonora deer hunt I called in and shot a bunch of coyotes. We were all done with mule deer after a couple of days, and needed some entertainment. So, we went out and called in some 'yotes, which were by far the dumbest coyotes I have ever seen. There were so many bobcats on this ranch that I think the 'yotes threw caution to the wind when coming to the call, maybe thinking that they didn't want the cats to get there first and get their free meal. All were skinny little 20 to 25-pounders, an all were shot with a 30-06 AI. The bullet was the 180-grain A-Frame, and the exit wounds were about the size of a dime. I was surprised, to say the least. The bullets just didn't make a big hole on the way out, but it sure killed them right now. I shot one in the rib cage, and another one got nailed by the over-spray. The expanded bullet that had come out of his buddy hit him in the hind quarter, went through him lengthwise, and flattened him on the spot. That was kinda fun, but it didn't take long for things to come back down into the normal range after that "average-booster." It was a fun hunt in all respects. [/QUOTE]
