Hey Guys,
I've been shooting a 140 gr Partition or a 140gr Accubond out of my .284 and have had great results. This is the first year of owning the gun and its downed 7 or 8 animals so far. Its accurate and fun to shoot.
I'd like to find a load that I could shoot at coyotes and have fun with a bit of different loads. I'm thinking a 120 grain bullet of some sort or possibly lighter if its possible. Looks like I can possiby get a Speer 100 grain HP but not sure.
Anyone have any suggestions on a good coyote load for the .284 or at least a good suggestion on a 7mm bullet that would work good for this sort of application? I shoot a .222 for my coyotes primarily but it would be nice to have a different load for the .284 to play with a bit.......
 
Have you considered the 120gr VMAX? May not be the way to go if you're concerned about pelt damage, however - if you just wanna blow the suckers up......
 
If you want to keep fur damage to an absolute minimum - you could try a 100gr barnes solid at 3300 to 3400 ft/s.
 
you're gonna blow big holes with hollow point 7mm's, but I like that! :D

so I'd suggest a 100 gr. Sierra Varminter HP or the Hornady, a 110 gr. Speer TnT, or the 120 gr. Hornady HP or Vmax

both the 120 HP & Vmax shot real well in my 7saum and 7mm Rem Mags, but I never shot a coyote with them.

I have since sold both rifles and have partial boxes of 100 gr. Hornady HP's & 120 gr. HP's I would sell for a good price, PM me if you're interested :)
