morphing the thread some more. i hit a fox once, which i thought was a small coyote, the sun was behind it so all i saw was the outline, with my 35 Whelen at about 30 yards. Load was a hornady 125gr. XTP HP sitting on top of 60gr. of Re7. found the tail and some butt skin. found the head and neck with some shoulder fur and meat attached. had been calling coyotes, or trying, and that was what finally showed up. i suspected the load would be "a little hard on fur", but it just basically made everything disappear. my friend mounted the head and said he had to stretch what little neck fur i brought in a lot to get even enough skin for a head mount. later to see if that load was a fluke with regards to what it did to the fox, i shot a watermelon with that load. melon was about 15" in diameter. it simply disappeared. we were 25 yards away and got sprayed with watermelon juice. if you want to make those armadillo's disappear, that combo should do it.
