[QUOTE="aer212, post: 1409038, member: 100648"] Hi all, I’ve been having a little trouble with my choice of bullets as far as killing coyotes goes. I have a 6.5x47L shooting 130 Jlk’s at 2860. It shoots really well and I can hit things at long range but the coyotes I’ve hit are not dead right there. As a matter of fact, mostly I don’t find them at all. I can think of 2 that I’ve found. 230yards=hit and spin and died 1047= hit but ran off 890= hit and run off, got another shot in and finished it 100=hit in throat and never twitched, the only one so far 998= hit and piled up 3 times and run off 400= hit and spin and roll but died 712x2= hit and run off on both of them That’s all I can remember right now but I believe only one died bang flop style. My .17-.204 kills them better. Any suggestions on a better bullet to try? I was thinking of trying the 130 Eld m next. [/QUOTE]
