300 WM bullet for Elk

[BillLarson]

Yes, I don't know why I would want to use a hard bullet on a Coyote?

Fur damage

Fur damage

Not for the caliber we are discussing, there will be damage

Never said it wouldn't work for a Coyote, it would just not be my choice for a Coyote bullet, and I can think of many better for that!

Kinda like racing of yesteryear….."ya run what ya brung"! memtb

Well yea, if I see a Coyote and I want to shoot I will, with what I am carrying at the moment, been there, done that many times.

Well...... how do you kill without damage....????
....hard non expanding bullets is what we use to save the pelt damage....

A hard bullet makes a .300" hole on both sides....

"Hard" bullet is a pretty relative, very broad term. Pure lead is pretty soft as compared to steel, but both are hard as compared to warm liver…..jus say'n! memtb

By hard I mean a fmj made with impure copper jackets.usually a cheap practice bullet more commonly wearing a canalure ...with lead....impure again but hardened.

And what does that have to do with a TTSX in a 300WM that we have been talking about.
The FMJ part is a nobrainer

PARTITION without even a second thought, don't send a little boy to do a man's job !!! Been around for7 decades, must be a reason...because they work !

 

[Nomosendero]

The Partition has always worked for me as well. If I am within 500 esp, no need to use something else.
