Gonna make a few more posts for some that I forgot about.

Same 10.5” as before, but with factory 62gr Barnes TSX-BT. Another Louisiana doe, but a little bigger than the last one, bout 50yds again, impact velocity of about 2400fps. Hit high and clipped spine, and was DRT. I remember there being good damage on the internals, and a definite pass through.

Not as pertinent to the discussion, but some data on the Barnes on a smaller critter. 16” barrel with same factory 62gr Barnes. About 220yds, impact velocity around 2250. First shot was a little far back (due to my ignorance on coyote anatomy), spun biting at wound, sent a follow up shot as it came out of the spin, and DRT. I couldn’t find entrance or exit holes for either, but seems pretty obvious that it was hit.
