[QUOTE="APDDSN0864, post: 1236375, member: 58226"] .22 cal. hole on entry, 1/2" hole on exit on the coyote. I didn't get the chance to look over the cat carcass for exit wound. The info I picked up on those bullets was that they were Federal bonded core bullets for their law enforcement ammunition, meant for barrier penetration and stopping bad guys. The ammo reviews laud the accuracy and effectiveness even after penetrating barriers such as windshields and window glass. This tells me that they would be great for larger varmints, hogs, and deer hunting, but not for the "red mist" effect on prairie dogs. I was hesitant to crimp them, even though they have the cannelure, so I removed he expander ball from my sizing die and just loaded them after neck sizing. I have ~.003" neck tension with this method. I think you'll be pleased with the bullets you got. I used the same powder charge/primer with Sierra 63gr GameKings and got nearly the same accuracy. The largest group @ 100yds with them was 3/4". This is an "opportunistic" hunting rifle, so those groups work great for me. Ed [/QUOTE]
