[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2829115, member: 115819"] It could be a little heavy for coues I guess, I don't know how much mass they need for resistance to open up and transfer energy but someone on here can give you the answer. The ballistics and speed combo are a great match, but the 119 also had a great BC/fps ratio, I almost got that one but I wanted extra insurance on cow elk in timber. Steve said it really didn't matter, but it made me feel good. I shot my buck at 55y, so it's not the best comparison for you but my partner was extremely impressed by the performance. It does not, as some folks will claim, behave like a FMJ after the petals come off. It was incredibly devastating but the contained fragmentation meant I didn't destroy half the deer at 3200fps. If you decide you need tips let me know or ask around, but to me the absolute hammers are the way to go in this case capacity even though they require some different juju. (lower friction, harder to get to full pressure, but faster.) In terms of hitting a small target like a coues you're not going to find a more accurate bullet than the hammers. But yeah. It's a fun catch 22. You can spend weeks of free time agonizing but almost anything you stick in there the saum is going to like. [/QUOTE]
