Hammer performance on coyotes

[Deleted member 115360]

I'm motivated to buy a wide selection of bullets from hammer in the immediate future, and I've seen Ed of Edventures kill a few coyotes and a lot of pigs with hammers on his YouTube series. I'm probably going to load 6mm for my 6mm arc, 6.5mm for the creed, and .277 for the 6.8spc and put them into coyotes. I'm looking for real world experience with the terminal performance on coyotes. Where I live, the pelts are absolutely useless, so I'm not trying to save any fur, but I shoot smaller bullets to keep the recoil low to make follow up shots easier. Thanks fellas.

Tagging in. Was also thinking about a small hammer bullet but hoping pelt friendly, possibly?

The yotes I shot with the 90g 25 cal were very fur friendly

That's about the bullet weight I wanted to load in my 6arc. I've seen loads where people were getting roughly 3kfps with the 88gr barnes ttsx, so I was thinking about hammers in that weight range.

You are shooting them pretty fast too if I remember. Did they just pencil through? And where was your shot placement. Would sure be awesome if they work good

Straight through with four little holes around it

It's alright Bean, I think we are still allowed to laugh and joke here.

160 grain HH from a 300Bee is not fur friendly. At 327 yards it left a grapefruit sized exit removing the heart and 1/2 the lungs. Little male still managed a death run.

If you're not worried about pelts, I'd shoot the smallest Shock Hammer as fast as you can push it.
