Anything under couple hundred yards out I think would take huge damage from these ballistic tips.
Also have some 140Grain American Gunner ammo.. BTHP open tip. the ones that everyone recommends you don't hunt deer with due to fragmentation. Thinking that this may reduce the damage especially if it fragments to the point of no exit wound.
Question being between the 2, for coyotes only, with an average 100-300 yards.
Does anyone else think that the BTHP 140 grain American Gunner would give less pelt damage in this case or is it just a losing battle with this chambering that isn't hand loaded light.

I used the 243 58 gr on yotes for some years--On times extreme fun damage.The 6.5 creedmoor the ideal deer caliber--for yotes no.The idea yote cal 22.250--Looks like have to bite the Bullet and purchase another gun--A fun gun on the range,no problem on gong ringing 4-500m.
