[QUOTE="Yaddio, post: 1349840, member: 38213"] I have shot a 240 Weatherby for years. A LH Mark V with 24" barrel and McMillan Stock. Mostly used it for coyotes, but also a few blacktails. I found the 95 gr Nosler Partition to be the perfect balance for coyotes and whatever else I may run into, like pigs. I used a book max load of H4831. For all game with the 95s I got a small hole going in and a small hole going out. Coyotes just dropped on the spot, hardly ever a twitch. I've shot over 100 coyotes with this gun. For the smallish blacktails, they died quickly too. I never recovered a bullet. I tried the 100 gr partitions for a while, but found them much more destructive than the 95s. For fun I tried the lighter bullets. Muzzle blast increased quite a bit, didn't really find any advantage over the 95 partitions, so I've always come home to the 95s. I would never consider using this gun as a ground squirrel or prairie dog gun. Heats up way too much. The horsepower of this gun is best used on game from coyotes to deer. [/QUOTE]
