[QUOTE="elmerkeithclone, post: 1429920, member: 104345"] I asked this question on another thread and it probably would have been more suitable to this thread. This line of questioning has probably been hammered to death but it's new to me and I am rather new to this forum so thought I'd ask. I have a new Winchester model 70 Coyote Light in 243. I bought it for shooting coyotes. It will not shoot 58 grain VMaxes to my liking so I tried some 100 grain boat tail soft points. It will do a three shot group the size of a silver dollar on X18 magnification at 300 yards with this load when it's dead calm and I'm having a good day. My question is...is this a suitable wolf round? I have a 7mm-08 that shoots real well with 139 grainers that is another option. I have wanted a 7mm Mag ever since I watched a guy in our group roll a sleeping coyote off of a snow drift at the half mile fence with his! I told my wife that a wolf hunt was in my future and she said go for it. That's kinda like giving me permission to buy a new gun if I twist it around just a little! I know where there is a brand new Weatherby Vanguard in 257 Weatherby mag for $400. The only thing there is that the ballistic coefficient of .257 bullets is not impressive. What are your thoughts?
