With my Savage .223 there is hardly any fur damage alot of the time its not till i pelt him out till i find the entry hole and if there is an exit hole its no bigger then a 22 mag which also does a good job but they need to be fairly close for a 22 mag but i still stand by the 223 its a heck of a round and the way i figure it if the US military finds it good enough to kill people then a coyote doesnt have a chance.
