IMHO it is only good for maybe something as big as a fox.  unless you head shoot them it is hard to get a good shot off at a movin critter.

Don't own one and havn't shot any yotes with this caliber either. But,I would not recommend it for coyotes.It's just to darn tuff to call them into gun range to begin with.You would be taking a huge gamble of not recovering the coyote if you did hit it.Not worth taking the chance in my book.

 Fox is all I would use it for while predator hunting.
