I like 39 gr sierra bitzkings. Very high BC, very accurate boat tail bullet. I have shot a lot of coyotes with this bullet and would say 80% of the time there is just a dime size exit hole.

While the event did happen, the "bad" bullet choice was a tongue in cheek statement. The shot was just behind the shoulder and the bullet worked great. The Coyote had come to the edge of the pond and I was across the pond from him. When the bullet hit him, he jumped forward into the pond. I had to drag him out.
So, not only was the shot good, I got him washed up also.
