Some of you guys must have excellent eye sight. I haven't figured out how to see where to place a bullet in a coyote's chest to insure that I won't hit a rib. Especially on a moving coyote, even a slow moving one..........
Being handicapped with that deficiency, I prefer to stick with a good HP bullet that will have a much better chance of breaking and penetrating an occasional rib in the wrong place and leave the V-Max type bullets for prairie dogs and such that they were designed for where you want immediate at impact expansion.
With coyotes, point of impact penetration trumps rapid expansion every time, IMO......... Nothing ruins a nice fur more than a premature bullet blow-up, even on the chest area. If you do hit a heavy bone such as a shoulder joint, chances are good that you're going to get splash with whatever bullet you might try in 17 caliber.
