From what little reading I have done a 243 is a bit heavy for coyote for saving fur, but lots of good results with 85gr bullets of the correct construction.
I read of trouble stabilizing 100gr
I figured use it as a 70-90gr rifle @ 2800-3000 ish to prolong barrel life
I wouldn't see any use in shooting heavier for deer.....just grab a heavier cal deer rifle (probly **** a lot of 243 lovers off saying that....)
I do like a purpose driven gun. And if its only good for coyote, one weight bullet, dial the load in and buy a stack of bullets and be set to go for a looooong time. Sounds good to me.
What do u guys figure?
