[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 337473, member: 12"] Texas has med body(150-175 lb) deer compared to small body in coastal NC (100-150 lbs) and large body midwest (200 lb plus). I certainly would not consider the 308 overkill. You can load 150-165 gr for deer and 125 Btips for coyotes. Yes, savage has 243s in sporter and varmint barrels. However, you must use the 100 gr bullets on deer which give you the same issues of overkill on the coyotes unless you use the 87 VMax Yes, the 260 is an excellant alternative and so is the 7mm-08 particularily with the 120 Btip Walmart, Kmart etc all sell cheaper 308 and sometimes the 260 IF your gun shoots that brand and bullet weight accurately. However, best thing is to get into reloading asap. BH [/QUOTE]
