I realize some may suggest that this was a mistake and I should have just used the 20Grain 17WSM rounds. Without insult I see them as about as much marketing gimmick as the 95Grain 6.5s with nothing but coyotes all over the box.
I have shot several coyotes with the 20 grain 17WSM's.
I should rephrase that to say I have shot coyotes several times with the 17WSM, as several shots were required on a runner with just "splash damage" done to the pelt every time.
If you hit a shoulder, leg or even a rib, it WILL explode without penetrating deep enough to not take a chunk out of the pelt right there at the surface, and just send the cripple running away educated.
