Been looking at this bullet as kind of a do all bullet. With a .303 BC it looks like it would be a good long range/ coyote hunting bullet and hit hard. If you have shot or shoot this bullet what load has worked for you? Thanks!

I use it for deer/hogs/yotes.Very good bullet.
I don't have my load data with me,but I use H335 around 25.2gr out of my rifle's. I load it out to around 2.295"COAL with my Savage 12,and 2.260"COAL in my AR's
I also have very good luck with the Speer 70gr Soft Point bullets.

Roo bullets....as I call 'um. Those bullets were originally designed for red kangaroos, which can get to be as much as 200 lbs and all muscle. They work excellent on deer, hogs and especially coyotes. I had been shooting them in my 22-250 for coyotes for several years and I must say they do hit hard.

I have never had any exit, that considering they were all hits in the boiler room. I did hit one in the eyeball, that made a mess.
