[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 3051291, member: 115819"] I only have some misses on my record, but my mentor had a lot of trouble with varmint bullets with the 7 mag. Shallow blowup, losing the animal running off. The 284 might temper it enough, but he's not a max loader by habit. My suspicion is that varmint construction just doesn't play nice with the raw KE the 7mm bore can carry. I know some guys hunt very successfully with the eld family, I carry a load, but I've just heard about some weird results with 7mm on coyotes. Do I know what I'm talking about personally? No, I'm amazing at giving them haircuts, but I get my info from someone who has won tournaments with his 7. Are you trying to recover pelt or just delete the animal? I'd go with a 120g mono or a 150 eldx if I were just after the bounty. I chase them with my 140 hammer deer load in a 7SAUM. If I was after a pelt I just wouldn't use the 284. You're right, varmint bullets are generally supposed to generate a cone of 100% fragmentation and only make one hole. That's the theory. [/QUOTE]
