[QUOTE="warboar21, post: 1046108, member: 88146"] I have had a Remington sendero in 25-06 since 1994. Have shot several coyote with it over the years as it was the smallest center fire caliber I had until 2002. I used many factory loaded rounds from 90gr power points to 122gr remember extended range ammo. At closer range depending on where I hit the dog it would either leave a large exit or quarter sized. When I got back into reloading I tried some 75gr Sierra varminter bullets and they were pretty hard on fur also if shooting smaller coyote or if broadside and hitting ribs. Those shots were under 200yds or so. At longer distance they were not so violent. If I had a straight on shot I never had the 75gr exit. It would destroy the insides like crazy though. Sounded like you were shaking a plastic bag full of water. One year I tried my target load with the 100gr match kings and had mixed results. At closer range they would anchor dogs. I had a few run several hundred yds when hit at longer ranges. Don't think they expanded much if any. That's when I would aim for shoulders when taking longer shots. If I broke bone I wouldn't see as many run. With all this said I don't think the 75gr will be worth a darn out to the 1000 yds you were asking about. The 100gr would do it but I'm sure it would only pencil through at that distance. I have only shot steel and paper at that range so I couldn't say on live targets. Furthest I have taken a coyote with my 25-06 was 500yds and was with a factory 122gr Remington extended range Cartridge. Was deer hunting and we didn't see anything other than the one coyote looking for a meal. Lucky shot for me. [/QUOTE]
