.243 load for 9 twist barrel

I've got a Remington 700 .243, it looks exactly like the ADL they have listed on their website, but it was made in 2011. It doesn't have the twist rate marked anywhere on the barrel so I'm assuming it's a 9 twist based on what others have said, so correct me if I'm wrong. I was wondering what a really accurate load would be for this setup. I shot 100 grain Federal Power Shok rounds earlier today and was grouping at about 1 inch at 100 yards, but I know I can tighten that up with hand loads. I've only got about 300 yards of property to shoot on so that's about as far of a shot as I'll be taking.

Thermal Coyote hunting round

Hey guys, first post. I’ve been night hunting coyotes with thermals for a few years now. While .223 has always been one of my favorite rounds for coyote hunting during the day, it just does not get it done as good during the night. Have had a ton of runners between my 2 buddies and I that I hunt with. So I’ve decided that I’m going to fix that and build an AR to where I I won’t have to worry about runners.
** I DO NOT CARE ABOUT RUINING FUR**
The cheaper the better, I usually build them up with better parts of my choosing so don’t mind a cheaper rifle.
Lighter obviously is better but I’m not against going to an ar 10.
Factory ammo only, I don’t reload. Cheaper the better. 22 cm is out of my budget.

Obviously the least recoil the better for
Follow up shots

Thought about turning my current night rifle into a .204 and then saw someone say they are pretty fur friendly. These coyotes have me angry! Let me know your guys thoughts!!

Win52B with Balvar 24

Well I finally picked up a scope I've been trying to get for 4 years now. Gun Show had a few gems to be had. This Bausch & Lomb 6-24x50 with the externally adjusted erector and the adjustment "knobs" around the maintube just looks killer. Has a tapering fine crosshair.

I passed this scope up last year at the same location and forgot about it as we rushed to beat a incoming blizzard. But I got her now. Hopefully it's not a turd. The box was a nice extra.

Homemade knife

The knife fight thread got me to thinking about this knife:

I’m not sure where my grandpa (born in 1901) got it, or if he made it, but it came to me when he passed in 1989. I’ve never used it, nor have I seen it used, but it’s still shaving sharp. No clue what kind of metal but it attracts a magnet.

Nine inches overall, with a 5 in blade.

The handle seems to be wrapped in some sort of plastic wrap. I thought it was plastic-wrapped wire but it’s not heavy enough for wire, and it doesn’t attract a magnet.

The sheath has a metal liner in what appears to be some sort of rubber-lined hose material.

No idea how old it is. The phrase “Try it you’ll like it” was popularized in 1971 as part of an Alka-Seltzer ad campaign but he could have written it later. Looks pretty wicked.

Something fun

I didn't know where this would fit in so I felt like the Armory was as good a place as any. Rewind to the summer and I get it in my head to make a sling shot and although I've never made a sling shot, how complicated could it be? Turns out I didn't know what I didn't know and neither bungee cords or bicycle inner tube make for a good sling shot. I found some forums for sling shots and read that exercise bands are a decent alternative for making slingshots so I picked one up, cut it up, and made this contraption. I know I could've bought a sling shot band or hell a whole slingshot for what I paid for the exercise band but I wanted to make one from scratch, it was fun.

It'll send one of those glass balls through a cardboard box and dent the other side at about 10' or so, which I'm happy with.

Firearms Insurance

Decided to inventory the gun safes and document all of my guns and scopes. Put a replacement value on it and the number surprised me. I guess when you get tired of one and don’t move them on you accumulate more than you would think.

Our homeowners insurance will only let us put a rider up to $10000 without and inventory including serial numbers.

What are others doing for your collections. I am avoiding talking value but let’s guess just bumping against 6 figures for all the pistols, rifles, AR’s, shotguns, muzzleloaders and scopes. It’s a working collection, not a collectors collection.
