has anyone shot any yotes with this caliber.  i recently got one and it shoots really good.  covered a group of five shots with a dime yesterday at 100 yards.  also shot it at phone books and it went through almost 3 of them.  it is dead on at 50 and 100.  has anyone shot them at any further distants and how do they do?

IMHO it is only good for maybe something as big as a fox.  unless you head shoot them it is hard to get a good shot off at a movin critter.

Don't own one and havn't shot any yotes with this caliber either. But,I would not recommend it for coyotes.It's just to darn tuff to call them into gun range to begin with.You would be taking a huge gamble of not recovering the coyote if you did hit it.Not worth taking the chance in my book.

 Fox is all I would use it for while predator hunting.
