Lucked into about 1k each of Hornady Vmax 55gr and Nosler Ballistic Tip 50 gr. I’ve read that the Vmax have thinner jackets and tend to blow up sooner, many times not even leaving an exit hole in a coyote. Also have read that the ballistic tip has the same jacket profile as their larger caliber big game ballistic tips, so sounds like they hold together longer.
I took a yote with a 55gr silvertip (coated ballistic tip), and it seemed to make a mess and giant exit wound, but the coyote still ended up running for about 150 yards before piling up (picture below).
I know both bullets are great, just wondering what people prefer before I pick one to start loading up.
