Have any of you guys used this for yotes? Looking at first big snow for up close fun with my ar. Looking at the 110vmax for 200yd and in. I have plenty of other proven calibers, just looking at adding one more to the list...I know a bunch of pigs have met their end, but was wondering about pelt damage blah blah blah...My uncle has 2 yotezillas that we busted while combining that need to meet their end...

The bullet type is what will really cause the damage. 30 cal is just a little bit bigger hole which can be easily fixed. Now a 3-5 inch exit hole makes the pelt almost worthless

I smoked a coyote head on at about 50-60 yards with a 125 Nosler Ballistic Tip. It was kinda messy. The pelt was a total loss.

I'd love your opinion on 300BLK and hunting in general. 300BLK is a nice round to "fix" the .224+ caliber requirement in Colorado for stuff like pronghorn, deer, etc.

Our neighbors to the north allow 5.56/223 for antelope and deer, but the nonresident tags are too expensive for my liking.

A ballistic tip was messy? Say it ain't true. LOL.

I once shot a 3x3 at about 10' with an AR and 50gr bal tip. I was calling coyotes, blowing a dying rabbit call and he came out bristled up swinging his head. Not sure his intentions, but wasnt about to be gored or bred. . I found the deer but not a single drop of blood.

as was stated above, the bullet type is going to determine how messy it gets.

That's what i was thinking for both bullets, i have some loaded up in the 125gr SGK, any experience with those? If all else fails, i could run my 147FMJBT's, but they're in and out....

The only 125s I have shot are the Nosler Ballistic Tips and the Sierra Matchking.

Heavier HP/SP round with a slower speed might be best to avoid an exit wound. Don't think you want subsonic, but maybe close to it? I have yet to hunt yotes, so I can't say what the effects of different rounds are on them.
