Default RE: the largest caliber for predator hunting

As a fifth generation Texas rancher, I was born with a dislike of coyotes. A lot of my opportunities are those "educated" coyotes that know to stay away from trucks and calls, but just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The wind pushes my scent and sound the other way. That same wind makes precision shooting next to impossible. My goal changes from a precise shot to just being able to hit'em. That works well if I have a bullet that will fragment and shatter something. If it doesn't kill them immediately (although it usually does), it disables them enough I can get a better shot or the dog can polish them off. He knows he won't get his a$$ whipped when the coyotes aren't running on all cylenders.
