Thanks for the replies. I am thinking of trying some Barnes Expanders. A coyote might be just enough to get those babies to mushroom.

Won't, nope!!! Tougher than XTP's.

Barnes with the big hollow points (Expander MZs and some XPBs) open up very fast but i would not waste them on yotes. The 45LC-225gr XPB is especially explosive on impact even at upper end 45Colt speeds.

Thanks for the info. I agree a shoulder shot on a coyote is probably the best idea with what ever deer bullet I happen to have at the time. But the Barnes bullets performance just looks interesting. Might be my project for the spring. $1 + a shot i know.

Might want to try some of the cheaper semi-jacketed hollowpoints. I think they expand better than most of the ballistic tipped bullets. Just my observations on deer anyways. I was having trouble with expansion and switched with improved results. Don't know how they would work on yotes though. If your gun will shoot them well enough some Maxi-Balls or Maxi-Hunters should do the trick though.
