.270 Win 110 grain loads?

[Greycat]

Hello the fire!
Any shooters out there tried this calibers and bullet weight for coyotes? Finances are limited, so I'm going to try the Encore for one of the 14 sunbathing coyotes I saw 2 days ago.

Back in the "day" I worked up a load for the 110 gr Sierra in a 26" Douglas barrel - Mauser action rifle in 270 Win.

I got it going very nearly 3400 FPS w/56 to 61 gr of IMR 4350.

I found that recoil was sufficient to miss a significant number of rock chuck shots. This was before bipods.

I went back to the Sierra 90 gr bullets @ 3400 FPS W/54 gr of IMR 4895.

They worked out standing. Many chucks, many yotes.

Was super out to 420 yds which must be where the itty bitty parachute opened and it fell like a rock.

The little 90 gr bullet was a good thing for a one rifle shooter.

Good luck on those napping yotes

Barnes advertises 3430 fps with 59 gr of H4350 out of 24" barrel. Sweet...

Also kinda curious here about 270 with light bullets for varmints. I got this wild idea that I can shoot eveything I hunt with a 270, and altho I have one... I am looking for a lefty one with 24" or 26" bbl. I guess I could use 140 and 150 for moose bear, 130 for elk mule deer lopes, and 110's or less for varmints maybe. Or something like that. I got rifles piled up here at home like cordwood and am thinking of selling off as I am nearing retirement and focussing on one calibre for everything to make my riflelife easier. Wife's still in the 30-06 mode so I'd probably need two 270 rifles.
