.270 Varmint gun?

Nobody has mentioned the 220 Swift, but might be an option.

My REM 700 25-06 likes the 100 grain Speer spire points. Flat and dropped deer, coyotes, hogs and pronghorns

.Quote:What is the current most over bore factory 6.5?


26 Nosler and 6.5 PRC might fit in that category. Or the 6.5 SAUM

90 grain Sierra Game Kings are my favorite .257 Roberts bullet, mainly for deer hunting. My daughter has been using it for deer and hogs for over 10 years now with that load and has not lost a deer yet.

Might have to try those, the 100 Sierra's shoot fine for me, but could get a few FPS out of a 90.
 
Just about every deer rifle I have owned has been taken for a walk for groundhogs too. I shoot one at about 30 yards while stalking an old hay field with my .30-40 Krag. That 220 gr RN-SP buckled him pretty quickly. Speer's 130 gr SP works great in the .30's

How many of y'all use or have used a .270 as a varmint/predator rifle? I'm kicking around the idea of getting one to use as a contest rifle for coyotes. I plan on shooting 90 to 100 grain bullets in it if I decide to go this route. I figure it's flat shooting enough I can hold on fur and hit a coyote if it hangs up or stops for one last look if it's on the verge of getting away. Not only that but will have plenty of power to put it down regardless of what direction it's facing when I shoot it.

Did you ever get a 270 for coyotes and how do you like it and how does it do on the coyotes ?
