[QUOTE="scottyd2506, post: 666443, member: 19778"] The bigger bullet will be slower and have less expansion, if your going long range in the winds of winter, why not try the new Berger 230 grain with a .720+ BC.. even at max velocity they are not going to be fast enough to expand a bunch. out of the 30-06 I'll bet around 2500 fps, and the winds will not blow them around much. a 110 Vmax at 3400 fps would prob really tear a coyote up, even slowed down to 2400 prob tear em up. my .300 win mag I have em loaded up to around 3300-3400 fps any faster and the bullets just blow up in mid air. have not had one to shot at it yet with em. even 243's can tear up coyotes, maybe more than the big bore, most big bore have thicker copper bullets, and those .224 and .243 bullets expand easy in small game with the power of the 243 you would tear up some pelts. might try some matchkings in the 30-06 they are thicker than the J4 jacket bergers. glad to hear you have come a away good in the battle with cancer.
