I was wondering on bullet jacket thickness, on the 6mm 80 grain Bal tip how hard of a change would it be to bump this up from the thinner varmint jacket to the thicker hunting jacket?
I geel this bullet I use alot in my .243 could be made even a better bullet if if where put into the game catagory and not varmint and had a thicker jacket? I do have some 90's and they shoot well, but I can get flatter trajectory and more FPS with a mild powder charge. This then would have even better results on coyotes and would work well on antelope and smaller deer as well.
I'm sure most of the varmint hunters that shoot "true" varmints are using the 70 grain or less? coyotes I feel fit into there own catagory and using varmint bullets of many kinds I have found and heard from others the negatives of hitting bone with a thin jacketed bullet in that 3,000fps or higher range cause splash, more so with others bullets and I do well with the 80 on coyotes but feel this bullet could be made even better with a thicker jacket?
Just thinking out loud, how hard would this be to switch this bullet any ideas? I'm betting many that shoot a 6mm caliber would look to this as a true coyote bullet if the switch was made. Thanks
