[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 451528, member: 22030"] I considered using the VLD bullets, I've used the Bergers out of the 243 win in the past. I have had great luck with them on deer, none going over 20ft, but had many coyotes run quite a ways after the shot. I think that because they are designed to penetrate 2-3" before expanding they are running out of chest cavity to expand in before exiting a coyote. The traditional big game bullets expand quickly on impact, then hold together to leave a managable exit wound. I prefer them to the V-max or other varmint bullets when bobcats or fox may be called in as well as coyotes, plus I don't have to change loads for antelope or deer. Bullets I have to try in it include 90gr Scirocco 85gr Interbond 90gr Ballistic tip 85gr Speer boattail 87gr Berger VLD hunting 95gr Matchking 95gr Berger VLD 100gr Sierra gameking One of those should give me the accuracy and performance I want. The VLD and matchking designs will get another try too with the increased velocity over my 20" 243 win. They may perform much better at the higher velocity. [/QUOTE]
