A coyote will never know the difference between those 2. A whole lot of an animal running off though is where the animal is hit and the path of the bullet takes through the body. First two coyotes I shot with the Grendel never took a step, one facing straight away flipped its tail to the side and I hit it directly in the round bullseye, it sat very quickly quivered and fell over. His running mate stopped at 247 yards and took the shot through both shoulders never moved after that other than dropping and flipping its tail a few times. I do not recall ever hitting a coyote with either of those bullets that went more than 50 yards other than one I gutshot.
As far as running a ways the only round I have never had a coyote run after being hit is a 17 Remington that starts 25gr bullets at 4200fps. No exits but lots of internal damage. I guess Roy Weatherby was right "speed kills".
