!07gr Sierra MK vs Coyotes

[Ironworker]

107 Sierra MK is what my 6x284 loves ,but how are they on coyotes ?

They should do fine. I've never shot them out of a 6 but i've shot a few through a 30cal and they will kill coyotes. They do tend to pencil through on coyotes though, so if you're looking for a devistating round go with a 105g amax. The SMK will work fine for saving fur though. They will open up just like anything else if you hit a hip or other large bone mass.

That's good to hear. I also am wanting to shoot tires with a 6-284 when I get it out together and loaded, though my barrel will be a 1:9 twist. Wonder if the sierras will work. If not I can do the 95's like I have been thinking about

 

[Ironworker]

Why do you want to shoot tires ?

My boy killed a black bear at 605 yards last year with his 6brx and the 107's,...I think they will do the job on a coyote for sure, good luck and happy hunting.

I have shot about 25 -30 coyotes with 107out of 6x47 lapua at 2950fps from 82 yds up to 553yds last week. excellent results, little if no fur damage, very impressive on my 600 yard gong, compared to some so called hunting bulletts.

Used to shoot tires. Stuck cardboard in the center and rolled them down a hill. Loaded them up on a little trailer pulled by a tractor and did it again and again.

When the cardboard fell out of the center, I would make perfect hits in the middle. Swear I'm right.

A lot of people do that, it gives you practice like your shooting animal, I used to do that,...now I have targets welded on a old hay bale elevator

Bringing old farm equiptment back to life. You could use full size steel targets. I could see something like that on Top Shots.

As long as your kids are young enough for you to force them to do it or if you can sweet talk your wife it works great

I`m not sure that you will be able to stablize the 107`s with a 9 twist. I have never checked the twist, but was told one of my 6-284`s had a 9 twist and it will not stablize them. I have a 243 Shilen barrel that I`m going to rechamber to 6 -284 but it has an 8 twist. I have yet to kill a coyote with a 6-284, but can tell you that the 80 gr. 22 cal SMK`s at 3150 fps are real hard on hides at 300 yards.

i think if you are making long range shots especially once you get out to about 800 on up who cares what the hides look like you get a good shot on at range.

i am not worried about shooting the 107's any more just thought i would see if it could even be done.
i am really wanting the 95's to stay together and do what i hope they can. i have looked at a couple places that have custome bullets and i have maybe found the perfect solution. a 6mm 100 grain vld bullet not even on the market yet but it should have the weight for energy and the speed to keep some decent trajectory. i hope that i can get a hold of some of these.

and no its not berger

At 800 and beyond isn't a issue with hides it's when you are at closer ranges, it's speed and thin wall bullets that blow up on impact and tear up the hide, at 800 yards the speed on my 6*284 is reduced to about 2019 fps, 2019 fps doesn't blow up it just makes a .243 diameter hole.
