TN Pred Hunter
New member
Just wanted to introduce myself and ask a question about ammo. Just started hunting with a friend this past deer seaon in Tennessee. Borrowed his gun and was lucky enough to get a 10 pointer my first season. Wife made me wait on buying a rifle until I was sure I thought it was something I would enjoy. I love it! Bought my first deer rifle - Ruger M77 MarkII in .270 with a Swift 4x12 scope (it was a package at a local gun shop and only one of two that was bolt action in left hand). Spent more than I wanted to, but my wife's logic, knowing me like she does, was why buy a cheaper gun and have to go back out next year and want to get something better. Can't afford a second gun at this time and was wondering if anyone could recommend a round in that caliber? I know a .270 is probably overkill, but it's what I've got.
Forgot to mention, wanting to start out hunting coyote.
