Long Range Coyote Hunting - What caliber?

[bozo699]

.300wm 210 grain vld's, 70 grains of RL-22, fully prepped Norma brass,...two coyote's a couple days ago, 15 mph switching winds, three shots, two dead coyotes, 869 yards on #1 and 881 on #2

There's no substitute for cubic inches

Now that's some awesome shooting!
How many minutes at 881yds? 28??

Max,
I don't recall exact, 900 is 20.5 moa, it was about 10 degree angle I want to say 19.3 but I can't remember and I don't have my palm pilot in my hand right now but I do remember I was spot on for elevation I just miss judged the wind by about 1.5 moa I saw impact and had to wait for them to come back out of the brush I whacked #1, approx 45 minutes later I talked # two out at 881, gave another click and he went down I have shot this rifle a lot and it is really a great rifle and worth every penny I paid for it, when the 26" hart goes south I have the next barrel off the machine sitting in the closet for replacement along with the reamer.

Here's the whole setup, nothing special really except the optics, it just worked out to be a exceptional rifle when it all got put together. H.S precision stock, forgot exact model, painted cammo, 26" Hart, Jewell trigger, Trued Remington action, pt&g spiral bolt, Wyatt's box mag .250 recoil lug, chamber is real tight, throated for 190 Sierra match kings, but the VLD 210's work the best, topped with a 5-25X56 S&B PMII scope, Harris bi-pod, haven't shot much past 1K with it yet but I have a spot on the ranch I can go 1780 so I may stretch it;s legs this fall after deer season.

Oh well if u got a S&B no wonder u can kill them that far out. I hear u don't even have to look through that scope and it will still kill things way out there--HA! Just kiddin'.

Sounds like u got a nice setup there, sir!

Thank you, even someone like me gets lucky once in a while if you build enough of them

A 257 Roberts or a Roberts AI would be a heck of a round for the intended use.

00Scot, hi, new guy here, you may think about the 6.5-284. good range of bullet weights and you can get it screaming out there to about 3400fps with the 100 grainers.
i'm considering a build on this caliber, but not sure yet. don't know if this helps any. good luck!
