Hello I could not find any info in the search section about my question so here goes.
Is there a factory round that is suitable for coyotes I only have one rifle right now and no way of hand loading and was concerned about using this on coyotes not because of fur damage but the bullet passing through and not dropping the coyote due to most rounds being designed for big bodied animals. I have experimented on pumpkins before, my friends .22-250 blows pumpkins up, my .300 Win Mag bores holes as the bullets wouldn't open up, didn't have time to test other factory loads so I thought I would see if anybody has any experience with this subject. The absolute last thing I would want is to shoot one and have it run off wounded, as much as I hate coyotes I respect and admire them.
