I loaded up some 150gr fmj's for my .300wsm thinking they wouldn't blow up the coyotes as much, but turns out they make it worse than my normal hunting bullets. Im only interested in saving the fur now that they have a nice coat on them. My only other options is the .308, .17, or .22. Is the .308 going to make any less of a mess with fmj's or am I stuck with the .17? I dont feel comfortable shooting a coyote with the .17 because it will most likely run away and suffer for 5 min before it dies. Any other calibers I should be looking at, my brothers 22-250 makes a huge mess also.
BTW, I know a 300wsm is way to big for coyotes but I just love that gun!
