30-06 accelerator rounds for coyotes

[bowhunterforever]

Hey guys, My buddy is looking for a good coyote round for his 30-06! Do they still make the factory accelerator rounds? If not whats another good bullet choice for coytes, that arent to expensive? Thanks

Last I looked they were still made by Remington. . .and for .308 as well. . .I haven't heard any opinions on the stuff from someone who has shot it though. . .

30-06 for coyote?  Might as well go full out with 180 grain and leave the skinning knife at home...

I tried a total of 5 in one rifle in my life, they grouped about 6-10 inches.
vast experience!!LOL

I heard they aren't very accurate due to inconsistencies in the sabot.

Well the accelerators dont sound very good! What a good factory round you guys recomend for yotes and that are pretty cheap!

Try Winchester 180 grain Power Points. Available for about $12 at Wal Mart, at least they were that price last time I bought them there. I say 180 grain just because of the lower velocity. They won't put as big a hole in the coyote as a faster, lighter slug. You could go with 150's if you don't care about the hides.

i shot a coyote at 75 yards with some 180 grain fusion and it turned that coyote inside out

[bobcat]

Yeah, well anything in a 30/06 probably isn't the best choice for coyotes if you're wanting to save the hides.   

I can tell you, that coyote wasn't turned "inside out" because the bullet weighed 180 grains. A 150 grain in the same type bullet would have done the same thing.

I would tend to use a more controlled expansion type bullet for coyotes in a 30/06 if it were me, but he asked for something "cheap."

30-06 excelerator is a 55 grn .224 bullet wrapped in a sabot. So.................... it is actually a very fast .223.

It is not a 30 caliber bullet.

Always been interested in these but have never seen them on a shelf anywhere. I've read many times that accuracy is horrible. I do remember many years ago my brother in law had a box of the 30-30 stuff.

Right, and at the speed they're moving, the holes it will leave in that coyote will NOT be small! 

[Gutpile]

true but if they are as innacurate as i've heard that wont be a problem.

Hell, just use some 200 grain boattails.......you get great BC out of the 200's so they will buck the wind great........and they are going to be going relatively slow so the hole shouldn't be all that big.

You could try these.  Its says for light thin skinned game.     Not that it matters but it also one of the coolest looking bullets I have seen.
