[QUOTE="jakeway, post: 2269969, member: 280"] This is a 243 Hornady 95 gr SST with a light load (I don't have my data with me, but I think it was around 33 grs) of H4895, at about 2700 fps muzzle velocity. The shot was about 65 yards. I couldn't find the entrance hole without skinning the yote, and this exit hole is only about an inch. I think the lower velocity keeps these bullets together pretty well, escpecially on light game like a yote. I didn't hit any bones but ribs, though. I also have an even lighter load of bulk 80 gr soft point bullets at 2400 fps that I will use when strictly yote hunting; the SSTs were used while deer hunting. (Killed a couple deer with that load, too.) [img]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y288/Jakeway/Exit.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
