ML for coyotes?
« on: February 03, 2009, 06:03:52 AM »
Any reason I shouldn't use my 50 cal ML on coyotes>
I use 295 grain bullet with 2 triple seven pellets for deer but would use 245 or 270 grain bullet out to 150 yards

Have killed a lot of coyotes with a .50 muzzleloader.  Most of them were killed with the 240 grain .430 XTP bullet.  Then i started using the 200 grain Shockwave and 120 grains of Pyrodex RS-works great.

I shot one this year while deer hunting.  Used a 50 cal. with conical.  I shot her in front shoulder, exited opposite rear.  I walked up with my skinning knife, took a look and realized all I had was a head and ears.
