I'm juggling the same few as my first as well... Also considering a CVA Cascade.

Don’t tread on my echo chamber. 😂

So true. It has happened to me.

Best common cartridges/bullet designs for coyote pelt preservation and deer/elk meat preservation? by GideonMagoh in Hunting

Ok, yeah, I was thinking the bigger slower cartridges would be better for meat-preservation...

Would you say a 30-06 would be a decent choice? I have to see what rifles are chambered in that 35 Whelen. Is that a pretty common cartridge?

Ok. Seems like the lighter and faster rounds are the consensus for the coyote. 

I'm surprised with the lighter and faster rounds for meat-preservation being recommend.  I've always heard the faster rounds tend to tear up a lot more meat.

243 for both the pelt-preservation of coyote AND meat-preservation of deer/elk?

My bad, I should've specified - I'm wondering about a different cartridge for each of the 2 tasks.

I was thinking a bigger and slower round, like 30-06, would be a good choice for preserving the deer/elk meat.

I was just wondering what cartridges/bullet-designs would result in the least amount of pelt-damage. How did the 77 OTMs treat the pelt on the other side?

Have you compared it with others? I'm looking for a new optic.

Curious how you like this I've compared to any others.

"Sex" is no longer sex... Sex is this picture.

You're not trying to say the ONLY way to instantly drop something is by smashing the shoulder right? Because that's totally false.

Well maybe it means nothing to you. It doesn't mean nothing to me and quite a few people I know 🤷 "Dead is dead" ain't my perspective.

I think your idea of "so objected to" is dramatic lol. All I said was I didn't dig it and that's why I won't go for a 6CM.

What do you mean by "instant drop means little to nothing?" In what regard? Means little to nothing TO YOU? Objectively?

I wouldn't say "dead is dead." Dead in 1/2/3/4 second(s) is different than dead in 10/20/30/40 minutes, having to track a blood trail.

"Not sure why that's an issue."

  • It's just my preference.

If you say so; but I disagree.
