We have some .270 115gr Remington Low Recoil at Dicks Sporting Goods...Seems it would be pretty damned good for yotes...
Anyone know the smallest grain bullet they sell for a 270? I'm a coyote hunter and was looking into a good round for yotes. Don't want to mess up the fur to bad. Thanks Harv.

Is that FMJ? Usually 115 is FMJ. Or is that a HP or a soft point?
Your using the wrong gun if you're looking to save fur.
Batstatesucks: We're talking about yotes here - not shooting deer across a ridge in Utah...No need to reinvent the wheel. Considering a .22lr is flat shooting enough to take out a deer, I would think a .270 MR 115 would be bullet-o-plenty...
You go hunting with the gun you have, not the one you want.

My BIL has a Taurus revolver chambered in .218 Bee that looks like it would be a hoot for coyote...
I would love to see that! .218 wheel gun would be sweet. How long is the barrel?
Courtesy flush when you drop a post like that - I think it crested the water line man...Perhaps some folks do. I choose the proper tool for each job.

If you still insist on the .270, which goes against all advice I've seen regarding taking pelts, I then suggest you use a FMJ bullet, so it make the minimum size hole, with no expansion.
Well, I was more commenting on the gun snobbery (and joking) - there's a difference between "this is the wrong tool for that job" and quote SNL, "Jane, you ignorant slut"...The OP wants to shoot coyotes, AND save fur. It's NOT gonna happen with a .270. Like killing a fly with a sledghammer. Like I said. Choose the right tool for the job. Hey, I wanna race in the Indy 500, but my F-250 just won't hold the road. Can you suggest a better tire?
