[QUOTE="fireroad, post: 345768, member: 17359"] After reading through one of my reloading manuals I need to update my previoes post and put in a plug for the 257 weatherby mag: A nosler 85 gr BT (BC .329) traveling 3700 fps or 100 gr BT (bc .379) traveling 3500 fps would put a world of hurt on any coyote at the distances you are talking about. As another OP stated, you need to pick the right bullet for the job and run it through a ballistic calculator to determine if it will properly expand at the distance you are talking about. I don't know where I read it, but I use a temin terminal velocity of 1,800 fps to ensure I get the desired expansion I want on any size critter. I do believe, however, most varmint bullets require a little less. [/QUOTE]
