    Coyote rifle help

    Often what's left out, or at least glossed over in these discussions is bullet selection. To me, it can be more important than cartridge selection. Yes, every bullet will kill, but some do it much quicker than others. I've absolutely crushed coyotes with a 16" 223 shooting the 50 grain v-max...

    @6brshooter I think the 95 SMK is just not for you. I would pick a shorter / lighter bullet. And I wouldn't worry so much about getting close to the lands. I'm jumping the 75 ELDM a mile and it hammers.

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    Was out Friday night. Did 4 sets and called in a single on 3 of them, all with howls and other coyote vocals. Only killed one because my hunting buddies are... a bit green yet.

    Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

    I had a similar experience last week here in SE ND, where it's also been unusually warm. First set I did 3 different howls and had 3 yotes come in a hurry. Buddy messed it up, but that's a different story. I thought I had it figured out. We did 3 more sets and had yotes howling on every set...

    With my 6.5 Creed DTA I'm getting 3017 fps with a 26" barrel using the 140 ELDM and RL26. I'm pretty sure that's a bit hot, but I'm not seeing any noticeable pressure signs. It is a little tough to get 47 grains in a Lapua case with room for a bullet though.

    Starting to Reload in 2024

    I second OneShot spray for case lube, and I would add to look in the PX here for a used ChargeMaster. They're typically readily available as people upgrade to fancier things.

    H4895 works well in my 6 Grendel variant. It's not as fast as Lever though.

    And just like that, they're gone. Had 5 in my cart, then I go to complete the order and it says out of stock.

    Oryx Bipod has launched!

    Is there any fresh feedback on these now that they've been out a while? @MDT_OFFICIAL in August, you mentioned that more mounting options are coming. When can we expect a pic rail mount?

    I'm launching the 180 ELDM at 3050 out of a 26" 7mm RM DTA barrel. Haven't hit anything but steel with it yet, but the numbers are pretty impressive.

    Who cares, it's awesome. Buy multiple barrels up front.

    Haven't seen much for Reloder 16 in here, so I'll share mine: 20" Black Hole Weaponry 1-8 twist 75 ELDM - 2.065 CBTO 41.4 RL16 CCI 400 1x Alpha brass ~3330 FPS

    Any 6.5 Grendel mag should work. People have different opinions on which one is "best". I like the ASC mags.

    Night Vision What yardage do you zero your thermal

    That's why I chose 4 inches instead of a more realistic 6-8. I've shot enough coyotes to know that if I hit them 2" from my point of aim, they are still very much dead. Some day I'll likely upgrade to the Super Yoter LRF and do the custom reticle like you. For now I have the original SY and...

    Night Vision What yardage do you zero your thermal

    So if I say a coyotes vitals are (a very conservative) 4 inches tall, and I use point-blank range calculator https://shooterscalculator.com/point-blank-range.php and get the following (22 Creed), I should just zero at 50 yards, and would be good to hold center-coyote out to roughly 300 yards...

    Night Vision What yardage do you zero your thermal

    I wondered if "sight height" worked the same for thermals, re: ballistics calculators, considering they don't exactly operate like a normal optic. Have you been able to confirm that your zero works for longer ranges?

    As far as I know, they are not. Us lefties are stuck with the A1, which is fine. A slightly lighter rifle and an M-lock handguard would be nice, but are not necessary. It seems unlikely that any new old-stock of LH A1s still exist, so you'd have to find one used.

    Honestly, I think you might be better off in the daylight with a shotgun.

    Hunting & Fishing Yote Stand Recommendations

    If you're talking about calling them, you want as much room as you can get. With thermal, you don't have any peripheral vision. In tight quarters like you have, they could hit your caller and be gone again before you swing back around with your scanner. Also, it doesn't matter where you have...
