Horde,
Thankfully I came into quite a few boxes of factory Hornady Black and A-MAX. both 123 gr. I suspect the only difference is the type of plastic used in the tip. I realize a lot of folks hunt big game with these bullets successfully. I want to apply them against coyotes, but am concerned that a coyote just doesn't have enough body mass to get these to expand at all and it will be like hitting them with a 123gr. FMJ and they will take off and die on nearby people's property and they'll have to deal with the carcass as I won't be able to recover it (no trespassing), which I'd rather not have happen. I would prefer they expire very close to where they get hit. I do not have experience with either of these loads, yet, against coyotes. If you do have some coyote experience with either of these loads, please let me know if there were any hits where the coyote ran off and you suspected no expansion. On the other hand, if you've hit a lot of coyotes with them and have always had evidence of good expansion and the coyotes expired close to where they were hit, that would be good to know too. I scrolled back through posts, but haven't done a in depth search so if that info is in the archives, apologies for being too lazy to search through the archives.
best to you,
