[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 912983, member: 35183"] Shoot the heavy bullet you have if you intend to do longer range stuff. Otherwise the wind is going to really mess with you. The amount of damage done to a coyote with any of these bullets would be devastating, but the 110's I would not be shooting too far due to low BC, bleeding energy fast and massive wind drift. If you already have an AR, I would not be loading low weight ammo for a 308, seems to be counter intuitive. I have a 223 that I had been shooting 75gr HPBT ammo out of. Now working on a 80gr Berger load since I got an 8 twist barrel. Then have a 243 AI that I shoot 95gr Bergers at 3200fps. Also a 308 loaded with 175gr SMK's. Hope to soon have my 6.5x284 done. 223 is my primary training rifle. 243AI is my primary coyote gun. 308 is my secondary training rifle for calibers that have a bit more recoil. It is harder to be as consistent with the 308 compared to the 223. [/QUOTE]
