Wolf shooting

Id use same gun and bullet I use for deer or moose. Use wolf hunting as trigger time as punching paper is expensive as ####.

180-200g 30.06 probably do less pelt damage than anything lighter. But all will kill them the same if you do your part.
 
I used a 6.5 CM with 143 ELD-X for coyote hunting for one season. Damage was minimal on the dozen or so that were taken with that combo. I think a decent big game bullet in your regular moose or deer rifle is a good choice.
 
Blitz King bullets --- you don't want it to pencil through. Regardless of caliber ...use a small grain pill at high speed ...big game bullets are the worst for this application

ya thanks . thats why i asked the question ...makes sense
 
All of mine have succumbed to a 140 grn. Hornady from a . 270 WSM, no complaints were offered. :) Pencil through ? We're talking deer sized animals.:confused:
 
I'd use what ever I have on hand when hunting. If I'd be hunting wolves or coyotes, I would then be using heavy bullets in my 223 but would like to try some of these TTSX as mentioned above. ^^^
 
As few years back I was calling elk one morning and a pack of 7 wolves came in, I got the Alpha female and missed a shot as the pack was running, that evening about 1/2 mile away I was calling again and they came back, I nailed 2 of the pups, by the end of 2 weeks hunting our group got 5 out of that pack of 7, made lots of room at the dinner table for them. The 300 RUM with 180 NAB messes them up a bit, hit the shoulder on the big female and took 1/2 the other side out.
