[QUOTE="Muskrat Outdoors, post: 2235264, member: 119188"] That looks like the same bullet I have, only mine is 7mm. Boat tail, with a small hollow point. I have heard you should never use "match grade" bullets for hunting. They aren't designed to expand......Ok, so as a fur rifle, I really don't want a lot of expantion, because I want the pelt, but I don't want them running off and dying never to be found either. When you skin out a coyote or a wolf, chest cavity is only 5-7 inches thick anyway, so it seems like it would work fine to not expand, but you do need tracking blood if they run very far. I have only trapped 1 wolf, and never had a shot at one. Everyone tells me not to use a centerfire 22, but go with a deer rifle instead. Shots tend to be long and any of the centerfire 22's are more affected by wind drift. A friend has shot 5-6 wolves now with a 300 Ultra Mag at 600-1,020 yards. I was surprised to see the worse exit hole was only about the size of a tennis ball. [/QUOTE]
