The thought hit me this morning: now that I'm an old retired fart, I can pretty well hunt when I feel like it. The thought of putting a small dent in the local coyote population came next to mind.
I have the following in my inventory, ripe for use:
1) A Savage 340 in .223 REM
2) A Mauser in 25-06
3) An AR in .223 REM
4) A Savage 325 in 30/30 WIN
I suppose if I really wanted to, I could manage a 300 yard shot, but that would take some doing. The farm is far more conducive to 200 yard set-ups with all the trees and undulations in the landscape.
My questions are as follows:
1) Assuming I limit myself to 200 yards, Will the Savage be sufficient? What Cup&Core bullets would you recommend? As I remember, it likes 55 grain over 60+grains and won't shoot a 70 Grain.
2) If I tried the 25-06, what bullet would you recommend? I'm currently using 117 grain Hornadys, but the rig is set up for whitetail.
3) Going lower than 150 grains is new to me in the 30-30. What bullet would you recommend?
