Will the open tip match work well as a hunting round... say coyote?
I like the heavier weights above 60grain and was gonna get 90grain bthp but I see the new 80.5 and 78grain triple shock so I’m interested

Accepted Answer

Well, an OTM isn't specialized hunting bullet – its hollow point isn't designed to unleash terminal expansion. The aperture in this bullet's tip indicates that its core was poured into place while it was still molten, creating superior rotational stability in the process. Were a skilled shooter to sink one of these 80 grain bullets into a varmint so large as a coyote, I can't imagine it wouldn't be effective. Personally, I'd save the OTMs for precision long-distance shooting at the range and favor a bullet like the TSX or V-MAX for varmint hunting!
