So I went coyote hunting the other night called in a couple, then the wind or my hunting buddy gave them second thoughts about trotting those last few yards. So we ended up doing a little cotton tail hunting instead. I hit one with a 55gr Fed Seirra Gameking at 65yrds from a standing position. Needless to say he ended up yote bait. I was using a red dot sight and put the dot on his head , I must have pulled a tad bit right. When I went to retrieve my stew meat ,I found my bullet had already gutted him for me.
I had a question in the reloading forum about the use of 125gr 30-06 bullets for coyotes and I was warned that it makes a mess of them. I imagine this experience is about the equivalent. Lesson learned no more rabbit hunting with 223 for me. If I was using FMJs I suppose I may have had a edible rabbit then again IDK...
