I am waiting my ten days to receive my new Savage Predator hunter in 243. So while I am waiting for the DROS and ten day waiting period to end I thought I would start doing some research on the hunting round I plan to use.
What I am looking for is a California legal non lead round that I can use for multiple game. I will be using this round to hunt Boar/Deer/Coyote/Bobcat and fox.
So I need a round that can do it all. Or at least cover most of the above game to a satisfactory level.
I will be mainly hunting Coyote, then boar/wild pig. So those are my main concerns when working up this load. It has to be lead free because there are parts of Californistan that only allow the use of non lead ammo. I know this severely limits my loading options. But I gotta work with what my gun hating animal loving state allows.
I noticed that Hornady offers a non lead 80gr. in their GMX bullet. Anyone have any experience with this bullet?
I am open to any and all suggestions. I have never hunted with non lead so I am new to it. What other manufacturers offer non lead bullets that would be good to take hogs and coyote? And by the way, I am not looking to preserve the pelts on the coyotes so that is not a concern of mine.
What bullet weight would be the best choice to hunt mainly coyote and still be able to take a decent size hog and maybe a deer when needed?
