I've shot about half a dozen coyotes with a 17 hornet. One little entrance hole, and I've never seen an exit. I've used the hornady 20 gr vmax. If you hit any vitals, lungs, etc., it's a dead dog. I've used a rangefinder to check, and have killed yotes at 278 yards first shot.

Only negative I've noticed is lack of a blood trail if you have to track one down. Not enough hole to leave any kind of a blood trail. In fact, you're lucky to get more than a few drops outside of the yote, and if there's any kind of heavy fur, the fur will absorb the blood.

Using a CZ 527 american with a Swarovski 4-12 brh for reference. Have to do a good cleaning about every 200 rounds, or accuracy degrades.
