wow , coyotes are tough

Sounds like it's time to move up in caliber. I think that a 416 Rigby should work well as a coyote "stopping" rifle.

I hit one in the lungs with a 250gr MK out of my 338/375 pistol at about 250 yards and that critter didn't even miss a step. He made it about 60 yards before just falling over. That was one of the strangest things I'd ever seen.

Glad you recovered him

Problem with such a heavy bullet is the bullet doesnt get the chance to expand at all. It basically is just punching a hole through it, so the SHOCK isnt there like it is with a smaller bullet thats expanding RAPIDLY

Heck I have killed many with a .22 that never made it that far  Should have cut him in half  glad ya got him

My son has been using his deer rifle with great success on yotes out to 300yds. (270win)  Kinda over kill  with 130's so we're looking for some 90gn bullets. But yes, they can take a hit once in a while and you just wonder what the heck?

maybe the bullet pushed him along for 150 yds and it looked like he was running...
