What is a good bullet choice for coyote in the .30-06? Tried the Hornady 110 gr but they are too short. My seating die won' t seat anything under 3.190 O.A.L., so it would have to at least that long.

something is wrong here friend. The Hornady 110 is a fine varmint bullet in the -06. There' s something wrong with your dies if you can' t seat that bullet.

Nothing wrong with the die. This is a Redding competition die that will not seat short bullets without changing out the std seating plug for a longer one, that is not an option for I will want to load the long bullets with it.

No I haven' t. Though the 150 gr. would be long enough.

I' ve had good luck with the Hornady 130grn Spire Point in front of 52grns of 4064. This is actually the bullet i deer hunt with and i have no complaints what so ever and the accuracy is well under an inch. I assume it would be ok for varmits also.

losthwy,

You might want too reconsider using your your standard loads. This would give you a greater familiarty with that rifle. Good luck.[&:]
