I recently loaded some 150's in nos. B.T. in my 300 RUM and hit a coyote sideways, Not to make it a habit but I'd like to load some 130's and try them over my graph I was going to start with 96 grns. of IMR 4831 and increase by half grains. I'd like to see what this would do to a coyote. I want to treat them like the varmit they are. Any Ideas??????thanks

I would start at the max load for the 150's and work up

I tried the 135 Berger and 99 grs RL 22 for almost 3900 and some itty bitty groups.

Try the Nosler 125 with H-4831.It shoots great in mine and stays together up to 3800fps.Groups are better around 3675 to 3700.I get 1 and1/4 inch groups with the 110 v-max but havent had the pleasure to put one in a coyote yet.Only tried 5 and had no chrony that day but should be at least 3900.

Try the Barnes 130XLC with 102gr of H1000. Been working good for us.

Speer makes (or used to make) a .308 130 grain with a large hollow point. The bullet had a very good reputation for accuracy.

While the large HP probably adds enough drag to lessen its maximum reasonable range (versus a spitzer), at the velocities a .300 RUM churns up, impact on a coyote should be quite spectacular.
