[QUOTE=".25AOD, post: 147883, member: 7605"] A buddy of mine had a .300 Win Mag Sendero and we shot a lot of the 125 BTs out of it. I believe the charge was somewhere between "incindiary device" and "small nuclear device" of RE-22. As I remember velocity was in the 3600fps range and recoil was... shall we say Stout. We shot 20 or 30 coyotes with it at ranges from 50 to 350 yds... the carnage wasn't what we were expecting. Sometimes you'd get a pretty big exit, but most of the time the damage was the same as the 165 and 180 BTs. Don't get me wrong... every coyote was a dead coyote, but the 25-06 did much worse things to them with the 85 grainer at an equal velocity. 2 or 3 of the dogs even went 50-60 yards after being hit solid through the lungs. Crows, however, were just a large puff of feathers. It was a flat shooter, identical to the 25-06/85 BT set-up... but if you want critters to come apart the 110 V-Max is a better bullet for that application. [/QUOTE]
