[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1691542, member: 109113"] Don, Consider this : With all I've read on this forum about velocity nodes, it seems that there are often more than one of these. Naturally, the faster one is the place to be for a hunting load, provided it delivers the necessary accuracy. Once found, that's what I intend to load for deer & elk. A slower node would likely be a good choice for the coyote-busting in between big game seasons, possibly even with a different bullet. ( No need to spend the big bucks on a fancy projectile to ventilate a 'yote, and a bullet with different terminal performance is probably a better choice anyway.) Finding one that has similar ballistic properties is probably the big trick. Also, the hunting rifle probably isn't going to get shot as much as the target rifles do anyway. It still makes sense, though, to go easy on the barrel steel. Nick [/QUOTE]
