.308 bullets

[Evan03]

Rocky i agrre with you completly about not useing varmit and taget bullets on big game.

i should have worded what i said about the hornady Amaxes. they are rumored to be good deer bullets.

i wouldnt ever purposely shoot deer with a varmit bullet like the vmax.

but ive found 85 and heavier nolser balistic tipps dont do much damage on coyotes from 150yds and out. havent had a chance to use the bullet closer than that.

nolser suposebly uses a heavier jacket on theyre hevier balistic tips. i dont know where the cut off is between the varmit jackets and the heavier ones. i do know the 85gr balistic tip acts worlds apart when compared to hornadays 75 vmax.

normaly when i load for the 2506 i load 100gr bts for all my varmit and deer hunting. and would usesomething heavier for elk if that was ever to happen.

latlely ive been wondering about rem 100gr core lokts. they act more like a varmit bullet with every thing i shoot. so far ive shot a few crows with no bullet exit. this seems kinda odd to me considering a crow is little more than a ballon with feathers.

ive also shot some coyotes with them with pretty dramatic exit wounds. you saw that coyote from a few years back. softball size exit wound from only 10yds off the muzzle. youd think there would have been pin prick at those velocities shooting a stout bullet through light skinned game.
