Large bore coyote kills

[Eastcoastshooter375]

These are 2 from Sunday. Not big bore kills, but damage is impressive on the first one!

Nice job!!! How far away were they?

After seeing what that 115 grain Berger does I am wondering what a 750-grain AMAX or a 420 grain RMB is going to do.

Thank you

Is that a carbon fiber barrel you have on that rifle?

I'm amazed at what the 115 did at 125 and 175 yds. I've shot them with 230 bergers out of my 300 RUM with no exit (surprised me too). 230 berger running 2996 fps hit a coyote in the chest as it was running straight at me. Think I could feel jacket or cup in hindquarter, but was NOT going to cut n' dig.

Full details and story posted in thread just below this one. "berger does it again and again", figured I'd post here also

negative JBS, just some cheap camo vinyl tape to get rid of the glare when hunting in the sunshine. What does make it interesting though is that the barrel is a LH twist. Maybe a fluke?

Does a snub nose .357 qualify as big bore? Probably not but it sure knocked him on his face.

Did it make a good exit wound?

If it is it's a coyote disemboweling fluke

Nothing impressive

Sorry not over .338 or even a coyote but how about a dingo with a 200gr Woodleigh out of a .300WM. 196 yards on the shoulder, second photo is exit wound.

That blasted a nice exit wound. Seems to have pretty much demolished its shoulder. Good shooting!!!

I shot a coyote with my 338 Rum, 225 TTSX at 285 yds 3 weeks ago while bear hunting. There was a sow and a cub appox 50 yds away eating blackberries when I shot. The next day the carcass was gone. Coyote for breakfast and black berries for desert. Sorry, I did not get a chance to ask how the bears how the coyote tasted.

Well I just purchased a Win. 1876 45-60. Guess that counts if I use it. Yes, I will. Really opens up the options of types of fire arms you can use too, for sure. I have used the M1 Garand, Rem. 1903A3, Win. and Marlin 30-30. It's a Blast!

That would have been useful info for the eating coyote thread!!!
Good shooting
