Big hole, Small hole?

[Catfish]

The angle at which you hit the coyote and where you hit it have alot to do with the holes you leave. I loaded uo some 55 gn. varment bullets in .223. I shot a coyote through the chest from the side only hitting ribs and left a 4 in hole in the far side. Gene hit one at more of an angle from the frount and the bullet stayed inside. Both shots were at abt 75 yrds. If your shooting a bullet that has enough penitration to kill with a shot from the rear it will blow through from the side, period.
