[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 861687, member: 48043"] I'd think about something like an 80 grain bullet at 2600-2800 fps with a light load of 4895 or 4064 pushing it. Lighter loads need a mid rate powder to keep them uniform in colder temps.. Something like 7828 or rl22 is to be avoided if you aren't going full speed here. You will still get good trajectory and penetration to a couple of hundred paces. My pops knocked down gobs of coyotes with loads like this back when 'yotes brought good $$. I called him to confirm what he was doing because I ran my 243 with full powder stuff when I shot one. [/QUOTE]
