300 win mag for coyotes

[farm boy]

I've got a buddy who is looking for light bullets that can still hit target at 600 yrds.
Not the typical caliber but anyone got any experience with this???

 

[thumper1]

well you can get 100gr bullets for the 300 win mag but getting them to shoot accuratley could be a challage at that range its gonna have to come down to trial and error to find a bullet weight and load thats gonna work in his rifle.

155 grain palma bullets loaded to 2900 fps have a very manageable recoil and they are designed for long distance target shooting.

Sure hope he is handy with a needle and thread!
300 Win will shread a coyote into poor fur trim at best.

X2 on that advice.

Shot one a few years back at Jake's Corner and basically split it in half.

Never thought it would do that much damage as was collecting for a fur coat. Later

Last one I saw hit with a 300 had the off side blown off with guts stretched out about 2 feet from the carcass.

180g Accubond at 10 yards.

Worked good.

If I wanted a long range coyote bullet for a .300, I'd use a Match bullet, like Sierra Match King or Berger.

Shoot 2 with my 308 and 155 gr Amax, i did only a small entry and exit hole did not damage much, like and ice pick... JP.

AMax would work good, too.

I shot a coyote with a 180gr TSX from a 300WSM, it ripped the yote to shreds. Definitely expanded.

Had the same results with a 130g .270 TSX.

 

[noneck180]

Why would it rip it to shreds? I thought the whole idea of the Barnes was to petal out and stay together. Shouldn't it be in and out?

Yea... a whole dollar. noneck, Barnes typically makes a pretty impressive exit hole, holding together and all, they also expand more rapidly than many would figure. I still consider it a good coyote bullet, as it doesn't flay the opposite side of the animal in large chamberings like a cheap cup and core, but they can make a hell of a hole.

Fur buyers have a completely different view of what damage is than hunters do. If you killed your coyote by lethal injection, they would find the needle mark and declare the hide worthless.(But they will save you the trouble of throwing it away if you left it with them)

These worthies haven't changed much since they were phuckin the Indians out of their buffalo robes and beaver pelts back in the furtradeing days.

 

[l.denison]

If you want factory loads federal has the Tipped TSX in 130Gr. for the .300 win mag

The bullet went in and out, but there was rapid expansion along the way.

How very true !!
Decades ago in Saskatoon I sold my hides to a buyer on 1st Ave. across from what is now Midtown Plaza.... or should I say "gave my hides " ??

Great post Dogleg !!
