[QUOTE="Nick Wagner, post: 1647457, member: 25329"] We’re all friends here, I was just explaining as well. I never owned a rifle for years, then about fifteen years ago when out feeding cows three coyotes appeared out of nowhere and took after my dog and all I could do was watch her run desperately for the house. They followed her until out of my view, but apparently she made it. I bought a .223 for a varmit gun. It works admirably on coyotes and I’ve used it to put down cows but bought a 30 30 a few years ago and now it is my first choice. Had to put down a cow last spring and the neighbor was closer so he came out with a 44 mag which did the job, I might have to get one of those with a holster for myself. No doubt shot placement is critical, you just have a larger margin of error with a more powerful projectile. But on an older bovine, that skull can get pretty thick, I’ve heard stories of the bullet just sitting on the forehead. In fact, witnessed it one time on a sow with a .22 many years ago. [/QUOTE]
