Oh there is a vision... 125 gr NBT at what? 4k? Here's bettin' that'd turn 'em to red mist like a 22-250 on PDs!
I like the way you... Er, Fotis... Think!
I've used Speer 100 gr HP from my 257 AI at 3330 fps and heard no complaints from the customers. Here is an example of close-in hit:
75 gr Vmax at 3600 fps is a killer through that rifle, to!
My 6-250 does well accuracy-wi w/ 75 gr Horn HPs, and they kill well.
None of these are pelt friendly by any stretch, at least not at the 1-150 yds typical of my calling set-ups.
My AR is lovin 55 gr NBTs and I'm excited to inroduce the local yote population to 'em ASAP!
I'll see your carnage.... and raise you a little more....
75 Vmax out of a .25-06AI... running 3800+ at the muzzle.... 200 yard frontal chest shot on a sitting dog, this is the entrance, there was no exit (there was also little discernable evidence of heart/lungs in the chest cavity)
Here's another, though this one was without all the fanfare...
.375 H&H, 260 AccuBond (70ish grains RE-15, 2700fps), 8 yards (no kidding), exited, DRT

Songdog, I'm surprised that 260 AB exited. :mrgreen: It is fun to catch the unwary coyote and sting him/her with whatever you have at hand. I had a big dog trot down a trail when I was walking along a creek bank a couple of years ago. I was hunting mule deer and had my .356 in hand. I stepped off the trail into some brush and he continued on his path right to me. I shot at about four yards. He jumped straight up and spun simultaneously. He made over twenty yards before he dropped. I was astonished at how tenacious he was. A 250 grain Kodiak made a horrible mess of that dog and there was a trail of blood that Ray Charles could have followed. I don't believe there was any blood left in the critter. Still, he made good time and good distance for his last trip.

I'm not gonna' lie.... I went out looking for a coyote or two to shoot with that .375 H&H. I called that coyote in, and shot it at under 30' as it trotted past my position. There was no tough accolades to bestow on this dog.... he went down, hard.
Shot this big bodied Spike Blacktail (225lbs on a cert. scale) with the same load at 70 yards.... it exited too.... imagine that.killed him just south of you DrMike.... about 5 miles from the coast, and about 5 miles from Canada.... eh. That's the exit you can see just above the elbow.... doesn't look like much, but the insides were soup! Don't mind the date.... camera was brand new.
Here's a picture of the hole on the entrance side of the ribcage.... bet'cha that hurt. You can see the opposite side ribs through the hole....

I don't doubt that the interior of that buck turned to soup. Consequently, that was a fine blacktail buck. I haven't hunted them for a few years. I need to make a trip back down to the coast.

Somehow I get the feeling that poor yote would have succumbed to a concussion from your muzzle blast...

Feel free to quote me on that.....
I actually have tried to choke a coyote out by standing on its throat (spined).... nope... wasn't happening. Early in the second round Herb Dean had to stop the fight though..... after a vicious right (9mm 124 Gold Dot to the side of the head).... hey, I shot it with my right hand!

The 204 scored again yesterday, up to 17 on the year. I didn't shoot one all through January or February which are usually my best months due to the extremely mild weather. Once March rolled around and we started calving though things changed quick. I didn't figure I had a chance of matching my record of 49 set last year with the slow start, but checking my notes I see I'm only 5 behind where I was this time last year. I'll lay off shooting them in a week or so when calving stops until fall unless I get one close to the house or see a large group hanging together. I may get up near last year's total with a good fall, I'd sure like to hit 40 anyway.

I do the same.... and encourage others to follow suit. The only exception is when I'm asked to do a little predator management where the goal is improved big game hunting.... then late spring and early summer seem the best times to do damage to a population.
