[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1419880, member: 880"] "I wonder if it would be a pelt saver on a coyote or would it be a pelt destroyer?" Dude it's a 30 caliber bullet with a velocity of around 2900fps from a 308 my guess and experience says oh yeah yote fur is gone! I shot the old style 155 from my 1-14 twist right up there in the 2900 somethings and those bullets even thought everyone says they won't expand OMG yes they expand VIOLENTLY :explode: Trick is your probably shooting a 1-10 twist factory barrel which from my 1-14 twist barrel will up your RPM's and cause this bullet to really come apart when something is hit and cute furry critters would scatter into parts when hit with my slower RPM 1-14 twis barrel just think about when you hit something with more RPM's on the bullet. I'm going to come out and say it, if a 1K bullet is what your after then a 175SMK or 178 A-Max is going to be a real good choice and they will drop deer just as good as any of the so called hunting bullets.
