Coyote suggestions

[BlackICE]

Just need around 40-60 fpe

Just to clarify that's totally adequate FPE at the Target not at the muzzle.

@Cantona256 All this banter and drivel and not a single link provided detailing specs aside from a video.

I only see banter and drivel coming from you. You ask this dude questions, he provides numerous examples, finds a video, and you mince a way to an argument on about every point. At this point I bet you'd argue the color of the sky if he said it was blue. Seems the only motivation you have is to argue and not learn. I wasn't going to say anything until that statement you posted in the quote above, so do some self reflection. I also have no desire to internet special Olympics argue with you, so don't be surprised if you get no further response from me.

I am really getting into this coyote calling with an air gun. Three times out and all three have resulted in Coyotes wIthin range and only my ignorance preventing success.
Today it all came together. Called two in at once. One got within 35 yards but stayed behind a sagebrush but the other one came into about 5o yards then backed out to 64 yards next to a bush I had ranged before I started calling. I shot it in the lungs with a 30 cal Hybrid slug. The impact was impressive and it left with tail down and moving slow. Unfortunately just over the finger was a thick brush pocket that I am assuming it made it into. A lot of people don’t spend much time looking for wounded coyotes but I ain’t one of them.
At any rate, I was thinking as Ihiked off the hill I should find a slug that will provide a better chance of a complete pass through with better penetration.
Anyone have any suggestions? I am shooting an M3 and it is tuned to shoot the Hybrids (RMR slap slugs) @ 960 fps. The gun is not working too hard to get there and I can get more velocity out of it with these slugs but I am thinking more velocity is not the answer. A slightly harder slug with a smaller hollow point is what I have in mind.
Could I be looking at this wrong? Any help appreciated

if you think .30 is too weak, what would you suggest a good air gun caliber would be for coyote.

The top coyote pcp is a .308 Airforce Texan. Yes, a 30 caliber.

Well let’s look at all the coyote hunters nation wide that are using a .22lr. I can tell you it’s probably zero. And us airgun guys with our .30’s are struggling to match that bottom of the barrel powder burner. We are not going to shock them to the ground. We are not going create massive cavitation and blow out the other side of them creating a good blood trail to aid in recovery. So we figure out our best approach at eliminating them and roll with it. I would like to see how they react to something like a .45 Texan but I’m not lugging something like that around. I’ll just shoot them with my little 6mm Remington.

Been hunting coyote for 20 years and last 5 with airguns occasionally, and air is my least picked choice. Only use it if I am close to town, need silence and going for specific distances. my 30 is set up for over 100fpe and it still most of the time has the target hit the third gear before the crash. Oh they do crash but it’s a pain. Some drop right away from head shots or good body shot but not the exception. Want drop in their tracks you need powder. My 22mag does the trick many times for fun, but bigger leaves no doubt. @Vetmx is 100% right. Airguns have limits, is what it is. Would like to see how a Mora 357 with 145 griffin would do though

I'm sure a Zeus in 0.58 or larger would do just dandy even for lung shots. But it probably just as loud as a PB, with excess range and penetration, you might as well just use a PB. A 45 colt or ACP would be about the same as a .58 Zeus and about the same loudness if shot from a rifle.

Zeus claims to have a 95 caliber but I don't see it listed.
