Does anyone use one of these for coyotes on a regular basis. I am trying to work up a load for my wifes that won't be brutal on pelts. I am working on loads using Hornady 75gr HP.
I would rather have a slow hit than a fast miss...

All i know about that caliber is that a boss that levi and i had when we worked at the college used that caliber for deer hunting and did nothing but brag about it. He absolutley loved that gun and caliber.

I had good luck years ago with the Hornady 75 gr. bullet and Norma MRP (now MRP II, I believe) in my 2506. Sorry, I don't have the powder quantity handy, but check out MRP II starting loads and work up (go to a good reloading manual or Norma's site prior to purchasing powder.)
Other powders like IMR 4064 and IMR 4350 may also be good choices for the 'Bob' w/ the 75 grainer.
