30-06 Round for Coyotes?
As I am not planning on keeping the fur of any of my potential future kills (should I get lucky enough to get one), what grain bullet would you recommend for coyote hunting? My intention (should I get lucky enough to get one), is to help a couple of friends with their yote problem on each of their farms and to collect the bounty that the counties offer.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I shot a couple last weekend with 30-06 accel (.55 grain). Some say they're not accurate. I think it depends on the rifle you shoot. I shot a rem 700. I shot one at 200 yds on the run. There the best your going to find for the 06 unless you go with your big game loads. Good luck!

Use your deer load. Gives you some "live" practice in anticipation of the fall hunting season. My son and I do the same with our .243's. We use Remington 100 gr. PSP's when hunting jackrabbits on our work trips to the deer lease.

140 grn. Federals do a real nice job on them.If you like softball size exit holes on them.Don't really matter to me anyway.I just shoot them around here,so they don't mess with the deer herd.

"with that in mind whats it matter what bullet grain you shoot."
Exactly. My favorite .30-06 coyote load is also my favorite deer load: Winchester case, 150 grain Sierra Pro Hunter or Sierra Boat Tail SP bullet,49-51 grains of IMR 3031 IMR powder and a Winchester LR primer.It really does a trick on coyotes. i've zapped them out tonearly 400 yards with this load.
