What powder and barrel length? That's over 300 fps more than I'm getting with 55 grain Blitzkings in a 25" barrel.

If you were going out this morning to call a couple coyote sets, what caliber with what bullet are you taking? Just answer with the caliber and bullet. No discussion, no opinions why. I'll be taking my 22-250 pushing 52grn Speer HPs.

The hot ticket in coyote competitions is the 22gt 12 twist shooting 53 VMAX.

I sell a lot of the 22br 8 twist around here. Usually a small profile around 18 inches.

Whoa !!
This is very interesting, just how fast is this load and would you please share your recipe ?

If you like the lighter bullets, another scorcher that delivers devastation is the 62 Barnes Varmint Grenade. I use IMR 8208, Fed Match primers.

I like going fast too. My favorite at the moment is the 58 V-max out of my .243 Win. The "problem" with my fast load, and the 55 Blitz King out of the Dasher is that, while they are devastating close-in and require very little holdover out to a few hundred yards, once you get out past around 400-500 yards, the BC on those bullets takes its toll when compared to 75 V-Max, 87 V-Max, the new ELD-VT and such - let alone your target-weight bullets. Might also consider the 75 V-Max with Rel.15, if you have some on hand. I'm guessing you might, as a Dasher owner. Good compromise of speed and BC. Tack driver in two of my barrels (1-8" TW.)

I run the 62 ELD-VT out of my .22 Nosler at a speed probably 200 FPS less than you do. I have never shot a varmint bullet that delivers the destruction on squirrel-sized critters as this bullet does out of my .22 Nosler. I'm guessing it is even better out of your rig! My first trip out was "holy smokes!!!"

Reading through this... and recently getting some land that definitely has critters... Seems like anything would work? I kinda planned on using my Marlin 357 as my "walkin around the woods" gun.
