jcwa Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I said it once and I'll say it again, If you don't want the hide, it don't matter what caliber or grain bullet you use. A dead dog is a dead dog. You may try a larger grain bullet like a 150gr or even a 180gr. The larger grain bullets are designed for larger game. When a larger grain bullet hits an animal the size of a coyote it doesn't have time to expand like it would hitting larger animals. You won't get much pelt damage. But if you want to use a smaller grain bullet I would use the 100gr PSP. Don't waste your money on the Accelerators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwa Posted January 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Re: Thanks - What\'s wrong with the Accelerators? If you don't care about pelt damage, just use what you deer hunt with. Hunting coyotes with what the deer hunt with will help your shooting practice, and you won't have to readjust your scope back when deer season rolls around.

Guest RkyMtn Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Thanks - What\'s wrong with the Accelerators? I also shoot a .300wsm. This is going to be my primary coyote gun for a while. Has anyone hit a dog with one of these? Just curious... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Question about varmit rounds for larger rifles I've shot groundhog with both the .270 (90 grain HP bullet) and .30-06 (125 grain SPT). Both are fine for longer ranges, like in many Western States. The only down side to them is the excessive muzzle blast (noise). I like cartridges in the .22 Hornet to 243 range for hunting Varmints.

WaCoyote Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Question about varmit rounds for larger rifles Don't know what your looking for but i used to shoot yotes with 125 grn tnt's at about 3000 fps out of my 30-06. Very accurate, very deadly, very very messy. not for pelt hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
