Cool My .243

I recently bought a Weatherby Vanguard SS with a 24 in. barrel and put a Tasco 2.5-10X42mm, Rock Mount bipod, and Kolpin sling on it(I'd post a pic of the gun but my computer is too slow). It works great on paper and hopefully on deer and coyotes too. 55gr. Ballistic Tip Winchester Supreme bullets are supposed to go 4025 FPS but I dont have a chronometer so I dont know. How fast do they go? A freind of mine says that at that velocity theyd rip a coyote open, I say theyd blow up inside and not even exit. Also, anyone know how fast a .243 Ackley Improved goes. Thanks for any help.

I seen a coyote that was hit with one of those bullets and it was just behind the rib cage and just about ripped in half. As for the .243 AI it will get 100 to 200 fps more than the .243 Win.
