SHoot the 55g at 3750-3950fps and put a 300yd zero on it. That will get you to 400-450 very fast, and very flat.
The 70g would be better past that for wind reasons, but out to 500 yards or so, I'd take the 55g anyday of the week, unless its blowing 20mph.
I shoot 55's and 58's at 3750-3950 in my stevens 243 depending on the load used at the time, and they've done me very well so far on about 12 coyotes the last 3 months out to 350 yards. I have a leupold vx2, 4-12 on it right now w/out target knobs so thats why I shoot the 55's and use it for a truck/calling gun, but when I get target knobs on it, it will be set up with the 87g vmax or 105g amax out to 800 yards for the ones that just sit there and stick there tongue out at you.
