Those Frontier bullets would not plant a coyote at a 100 yards.

It gets costly when you have to shoot 3 or more times.

But as for the caliber/brand rifle i am glad we have the choices we do.


Interesting, I have some of the 556 75 gr bthp Frontiers. Think they'd open up on antelope and deer?
That should be a Hornady 75 bthp. I have not bought new in years since I had 10K on hand when I quit shooting competition. Lets just say we keep mags full of a load with the 75bthp for general all around use and I've never had a problem with it from coyotes and coons to deer and pigs. Can't think I've used it much past 300 or so yards though, longer 223 shots on deer I single load the old 75 amax.


We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
