Anybody loaded the 120 grain SST in the 270 for coyotes? I know way overkill caliber/bullet for dogs but seem to be a good choice given a reasonable B.C. and probably built a bit light for the 6.8 SPC. Thinking if trying it to try on the local yotes. Gimme some input if you have it.

If you plan on saving the hide I would keep looking.

I'd assume they'd be explosive at closer ranges and destroy hides as rrogers said.

Not too worried about hides around here, too many fences and about 75% of the coyotes have rubs.

That should be a perfect load for mangy coyotes.

Agreed. If you're not saving the hides it should work wonderfully if your gun likes them.

Plenty of those too. In fact if they dont have a rub you mange will screw the deal up. I dont even worry about them anymore, shoot them and haul them off to the ditch. The last time I sold hides I had killed 6-8 dogs and only had 1 decent hide, thats when I quit selling.
