[QUOTE="300 Driver, post: 1269078, member: 91257"] I only shot one animal with that load. A 200lb whitetail buck. He was hit just behind the shoulder blade and the impact and exit were both 7mm. I only had to track that buck about 200yards, so the bullet did work. Unfortunately I lost his trail that night and had to come back in the morning. The coyotes found him before me... as for how much expansion it had internally, I don't recall. I wasn't pleased enough to use the combination any more. The Amax has shown great expansion at the velocities I'm shooting and better grouping. In my experience with coyotes, I've never had time to dial in a range correction. So, I'd go with a 120gr loading in the 7-08 near 3100 if it were only for coyotes. Of course, the 120 is still lethal on deer too. I just prefer heavy for caliber the more I do of this lrh [/QUOTE]
