Best thing for fur harvesters. Badgers to coyote, small entry, turns the insides to mush and seldom any exit. The old berger 25 [non-MEF] is my bullet of choice. I use an old Rem 700 I bought in 1971 and I have an Encore with a VVG stainless. The Rem is good for about 30 rds. before fouling opens groups, the VVG about 100 rds., your mileage may vary. Use Rem 7 1/2 primers, or CCI srm. Varget, Imr 4320 or RL7 are my powders of choice. They shoot flat and get the job done.
