I agree and a lot of times shot placement can be tricky on the elusive coyote when running! I’d like to get the VLD/hunting bergers when they come around again. These 95vld sit exactly in the n/s junction. I’m not going up into the 105s. The urbanrifleman did a freebore study on the BRA which seemed to align with what I’m doing. I have 7.5 twist so I doubt going lighter will be help either. As for brass it’s easier to find on the prairie than the black hills!!!! I don’t leave without it!

You’d have had it 5 1/2 years now haha.
They’re usually in stock somewhere, they just take some digging. Minor ejection port changes are no step for Jon

I believe an awful lot of people seem to think a coyote is like shooting a ballon or wet paper bag. Get sloppy with your shots and you will have runners. These critters will to live is amazing. I have seen first hand a dog run over a half mile through cut corn stalks, dragging guts before expiring.
Years ago I hunted a farm with a coyote problem. Gent before us was shooting 22-250 or a Swift forget which. Of the half dozen or so we killed, all had some nasty splash marks. Later on one of the guys I hunted with found out the guy had loaded some 40 grain bullets more intended for Hornet use.

85grn sierra varminters (soft point)are really good on deer.ive shot lots of red deer with this rifle.i neck shot a hind not to long ago around 180ish yards.no exit hole it just expanded the deer looked like it had swallowed a football.nice on roe deer aswell.i shot a stag in the engine room 246yds.swarovski range finder binos confirmed.the bullet went in broke a rib and no exit the deer trotted 50ish yds.swayed and fell over.organ damage was excellent. also hardly any carcase damage when dressed out.i do mainly head or neck shoot deer with this rifle..it really tears up foxes.it amazes my friend how far I shoot crows and rabbits and how good such a little cartridge is..he had to have one.i built him this on a Tikka 595 action.Bartlein 8T flutted barrel mcmillan carbon stock.it cycles the 6br flawlessly.

6mm Dasher(my brass says 6br, does that count
)
I pick them off from afar. I’ve shot them 350y to 750y in these river bottoms. January, February & March are good times up there. Coyotes are very territorial during mating season. Just takes a few howls from the bluff of a morning, there’s a pretty good chance one will be in the field below somewhere within a couple hours.

That's sexy as hell. What stock is that?
Next to PDs, turtle shooting was the best thing I did while visiting the US. I have on video me disintegrating a big ole boy off a log with a .22-250. Bits flying everywhere. We found a great pond and had an extended session with the rimfires. The farmer said there was a heap washed up a few days later. You've gotta be on your game with those small heads moving across the water, especially with the wind.

This has been the best thread I've seen. I've got a bat bumblebee action waiting on a barrel for 6 dasher. Going in mdt chassis with nightforce nxs. Can't wait to get out in field with it. A now I wish I had a turtle problem.
