should be in the 3400 fps range from a 26" barrel. I don't think it will bounce off stuff!!!

That’d be deadly :rockOn: :rockOn: :rockOn:

I swear the original Varminters from post war America are in their graves craving this cartridge. It’s everything they were searching for when they created the 22-250, 257Roberts, 243, 6mm etc.

Ironically they were dreaming of how to get the ballistics of this round with these bullets, powders, and twist rates. And I’m dreaming of being able to snipe Varmints in post war North America with easy access and plentiful varmints and nobody seeing a thing wrong with what you’re doing.
 
My experience with 75-100 gr varmint bullets and speed above 3500fps is big holes torn/ripped in the hides. But I have never used Barnes bullets on coyotes.

Keep the speed at 3000, or the bullets at 50 gr or less, the result is much cleaner.
 
the Barnes would be for up to moose sized game. If fur friendly is the goal, then another chambering would probably be a better route
 
The 75gr eld up to 80gr and heavier Berger, Lapua, Hornady etc all make excellant loooong range target pills. As well as making hitting small varmints at long range easier. Rock Chucks, woodchucks at 500+ etc

I've shot wolves and coyotes with Barnes 100 gr TSX out of my 257 Wby at close to 3600 fps and they don't do much damage. That said, switching to a ballistic tip or other fast expanding bullet changes things rapidly and tears the crap out of hides.
