If anyone from Oregon can get 3 bucks for a raw pelt there doing ok hahahaI'm in northeast oregon and yes i do use a .308 when i go into an area here that has a heavy bear/lion/wolf population. What works well for me in both my bolt gun and ar10 is 48grs. of varget with a col 2.710 and sierra 135gr. hpbt match bullets.
These bullets do make a mess so if your saving the fur it may be best to use something else. Good luck
anyone used a load for 308 win. for coyotes, the 22-250 is in the shop for 2 months.
I have h-superperformance,h-4895,h-8280xbr for powders.
