hey their

my coyote gun is a savage 111 in .270. now since i just got a scope for it and i would like to bag a yote...or atleast create a load for one.

what bullets should i get?

hornady v-max 110 gr

hornady interlocks 130 gr sp

or should i just stick with the speer 130gr sitzer that im loading now.

i just want clean kills and a bullet that doesnt kill my piggy bank:p

thanx

matt
 
If you want to shoot coyotes to practice for deer season, then by all means stick to the 130's you are already loading.
If you want to shoot alot, the any of the lighter bullets will do. I have had really good luck in the past using 115 gr. HPBT Match King Sierra's, and Hornady 100grain Sp, or either of the 110 grain bullets (V-Max or Hp).

I did find that with the light bullets in the .270 that I got better accuracy when i did not use a max load. The twist is a little fast for the light ones at that speed

Hope this helps
 
I agree with the other guys, I'd use the same bullet that you use for hunting. That will make you familiar with your rifle come deer season.
 
a good flat shooting load that is cheap would be the 100 grain Hornady soft point

I'd try 4350 for a powder
 
The Hornady 110 has an advantage in that there's usually nothing left of the bullet once it hit's a 'yote. If this isn't too musc of an issue where you are shooting, stay with your hunting load, good practice. Used to use to 110HP on gophers, with explosive results.

That's one of the reasons I like it. It also is more likely to break up if you miss and hit a rock or other hard object. I've had good luck using Reloder 19 with it.
 
I've got some hornady 100's ready for load development, just need a day that isn't so dang windy. I had 3 yotes within sight (500+ yards) of my front porch this morning but the wind was so strong and gusting from different directions that I didn't take a shot with my 130 deer load.

They feel pretty safe out that far because I've only used the 223 here before and don't take shots that far with it. They don't know how accurate my 270 is - yet!

What about 90 grain bullets, how do you guys think those would work??:confused:

I never could get the 90's to shoot well. Accuracy past 100 yards seemed to be nonexistent unless velocities were so low you may as well have been using 150 grain bullets.
When you hit something under that though. Wow. Gophers, badgers and crows and so on are just vaporised! Very impressive
