Factory barrel averaged around 3/4", and the preferred barrel is closer to 1/2"

It's the most accurate factory ammo I've found out of my preferred barrel(1-12), and my factory tikka barrel(1-14).

Also have to look at velocity as well. I've shot the 50 gr vmax at 3800+ out of my 22-250, and the performance was horrible. I had more runners with that combo than I had in all the previous years combined. But you slow it down to 223 speed and it is an effective bullet.

Where are you located? I couldn't give them away.

223 73 gr eldm at 2800 < 243 75 gr vmax at 3600. Max range is 500 yds, but I'm guessing majority will be inside 300. I'll take speed at that distance. Just hold on fur and dump them. Because coyotes usually don't give you a lot of time to check your dope.

My vote would be a 6 creed or 243. That's if you don't care about fur.

I have a dmr 3 and and an xtr 3i. I'll take my dmr 3 over the xtr 3 everyday.

It's hard to say on coyotes. Sometimes they just don't react to the call. Or they've heard that song and dance. I was in Eastern Colorado calling coyotes with a friend of mine back in December. We killed 6 coyotes before lunch on the first day, and didn't see a single coyote the rest of...

Vocals and fight sounds were working really good today. We killed 6 today, and 5 of those came into howls.

Same here. A lot times they have to stop and look back at least once, as long as they didn't smell you.

Coyotes were working good today. Made 5 stands and killed 7 coyotes by noon. Hate to quit early on days like this, but had family coming over in the afternoon.

He has his own thread at the top of the page.

Have to get some killed before the little one is born. I have a about 2 weeks left, before my leash gets even shorter.

That one is a 22-250. I have a few lefty tikkas.

Pretty slow morning. Called in a pair on the first stand. Shot the one hanging back in hopes to pull the aggressive one back in, with no such luck. Then blanked the second and third stand.
