Inside 150 yards I vote for a .45-70 pushing a 350g hardcast to 1091fps using 13.5g HS-6. 935fpe at the muzzle, 937fps/683fpe at 150 yards.

Accurate as hell in my rifle and penetrates 12 water jugs.


Coyote Hunter - NRA Patriot Life, NRA Whittington Center Life, GOA, DAD - and I VOTE!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
