Hunting coyotes with 30/06?? What's hard to believe about that? Tell me all the animals that
haven't been hunted successfully by the 30/06? I've shot several coyotes with /06...some at considerable range. Loaded with some of the lighter bullets, the /06 is both fast and flat...favored requirements of a coyote rifle. And Lord knows the /06 is deadly when it arrives. This is something the lighter and more traditional varmint rifles can't always boast.
I never use the word "can't" in a sentence with 30/06. It's the poster child for the "Can Do" rifle.
