[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2432986, member: 91783"] Fox and bobcats are thin skinned and bodied so the loads that I run for coyote will often have some fragments of the copper jackets exit them on the off side . The way I figured out what I wanted to use to shoot these critters was to shoot Jack rabbits ( when we had a lot of them ) and see how it affected them . After I got a load that didn't destroy a jack rabbit then I tried them on coyote in my traps and snares in the non fur season and at differing ranges . I will most likely do pretty much the same with the 124 grain hammer hunters in my 30-06 but on P D 's and coyote . when doing the testing of the 55 grain Sierra hollow point bot tail bullets I found that too fast caused a lot of devastation and too slow didn't allow them to perform as they should and they wouldn't open up . So I am thinking that the hammer hunters will be the same they will have a good speed range where they preform at their optimum and do as I want them to for coyote . Fortunately I have access to coyote carcasses to test them on and from other bullets of similar weight a starting point for the M V . [/QUOTE]
