Hi,
Just decided to start seriously hunting coyotes this year. I have gone out maybe a dozen times in the past and have called in a few, and missed one, but have never been able to close the deal yet. I recently got a savage 243 for the purpose, and its very accurate with the 70 grain balistic tips from federal, (I dont reload yet) I'm getting groups right around an inch at 150 yards, and I'm sure it can do better than I can. But i'm wondering if these loads are going to tear up the fur too bad, should I switch to the 55 grainers if they shoot well too, or will the 70's be okay? Thanks for any advise.
