Too much horsepower for coyote?

[QUOTE="wackinandstackin243, post: 1315995, member: 59412"] What did I say that's "not true"? I've been saying the exact same thing about 243 70 grains. They are traveling so fast they explode internally, have the same shock factor, and it was very rare I had an exit wound. Especially when calling them in I preferred a chest shot facing me. I also had the same results with 52 gr match kings in a 22-250. I have a different 243 that I have shot Federal blue box 100 gr and handloaded 95 gr ballistic tips in and there has always been an exit wound. So to answer the original question about too much horsepower for coyotes, my own personal experience is that somewhere between 70 and 95 grains in a 243 must be the limit if preserving fur is the objective.
