300 AAC/Whisper as a varmint cartridge?
Anyone shot any varmints with the 300 AAC/Whisper? How much did it blow them up?

I had my dealer find me a 300 and she told me she had to check on Monday to find out if it was the Remington M7 or the new Ruger American Coyote.

I need something for coyotes, live in a good coyote area with unlimited public land.

I built a 30 Whisper for a coyote shooter, he uses a suppressor and shoots coyotes as they come into the ranchers feedlots. Fur damage is minimal as the 200+ bullets don't expand at the low velocities. I have shot coyotes with the 308 and 168 Sierra match and as long as the shot was in the rib cage the hole was small, hit the shoulder or hip and there was not much left to retrieve.
