Has anyone out there used 60 grain partitions in the .223 WSSM. I have a Winchester Coyote that shoots 55 grain Ballistic Tips or Blitz Kings (Sports and Western didn't have any Ballistic tips that day)extremly well. The problem is that if the bullet hits a bone on a coyote it looks like they were hit with a hand grenade. We are talking Softball sized holes. Not good if you want to save the pelt.
Has anyone used the .223 WSSM on deer. Not my first choice but we normally make a pilgriamage to North Central Montana to hunt deer on my cousins ranch. The coyote population is thick and taking a few out will make lots of friends. Bottom line if I happen to be holding the .223 WSSM at the moment a big muley shows up I would like to know the limitations.
