38 gr Wildcat claims young female coyote

Post by CV32 »

This young female (no doubt born this past spring) came to 'pup in distress' on my Foxpro FX3 on the first day of the season. The 38 gr Wildcat HP bullet from my .204 CZ 527 LH American did quite a number on her small frame and summer pelt. Softball sized exit.

Good job! Is that a handload? I've never heard of a 38 gr. wildcat bullet.

Yes, a hand load with a custom bullet made by Wildcat Bullets of Alberta.

Guess thats why I've never heard of them. Looks like they get the job done. Keep up the good work, or should I say, good fun.
