Has anyone here hunted coyotes with a 44 Magnum, or at least taken one that happened to show up while hunting other things? If so, what load were you using and how well did it work on something that size?

Since the farmers have harvested the corn in many of the areas I have permission to hunt coyotes, I've been itching to get out and try to call a few up, especially some young and inexperienced ones leaving the nest. While I'll have my AR-15 with me, I'd like to take a few of my handguns out to try to kill a few. I recently got a set of dies for the 44, along with the box of 180 grain XTPs as part of Hornady's "Get Loaded 2020" promotion. I figure for coyotes, I'll run a less potent charge of Titegroup instead of a full charge of H110.
