Title: .243 to much?
Post by: Prodkey05 on March 01, 2012, 07:48:42 PM

I am getting a savage model 110 .243 on a trade. My question is will the .243 with the hornady 58 grain v-max moly or the 58 grain V-max superformance be to much for coyote and fox as far as pelt damage? Thanks for your input.

Good for coyote, a little much for fox a lot of the time. Good long rang gun though.  I shot a lot of fox with a 243, some times i would have to look around for some fox body parts after the shot.  Lol

if you reload you might be better off with a slow heavier bullet.  If the gun likes it.
