I'm looking for input into bullet weights for my 1 in 12 26" barrel .204
Since new this rifle has fired nothing but 32gr Vmax's at gophers (quite spectacularly I might add).
I want to give coyoting a try. Is a 32gr bullet gonna hit hard enough to drop a 'yote humanely? I reload and have dropped my FPS to about 3600 to save barrel erosion. Is that fast enough and heavy enough to do the job?
How heavy a bullet can I load before it starts de-stabilizing?
