    First Blood

    Finally cool enough to try the coyotes. Cool still Sunday morning, dead batteries in the Fox Pro, resorted to the tried and true Olt. Total of 6 mins in the stand. Not much of a shot challenge, hunting challenge yes, shooting no. You have to be quick and accurate on the trigger down here.

      Congrats!

      What load did you use, distance to the yote, etc.

      Make sure to update the game survey thread if you would. Thanks!

        120 Sierra ProHunter, AR Comp. 30 yards. Small openings in the woods makes for fast action.

          I bet that blasted him pretty good, especially from a 24".

            If I'm remembering correctly, I sold you some ProHunters a while back. Are these the same bullets?

              You remember correctly. Not the same bullets per se, but yes the same bullets. I like Sierra bullets. Did you ever see the first load work ups I did with those bullets I bought from you? That 120 running 2590 fps really was overkill for coyotes, it probably didn't open up like one would want. But for deer, I think it will be perfect for 0=300 yards.

                Awesome, glad to know you got some good use of the bullets doing load work ups. I don't remember seeing your post on here. It looks like you have definitely found a good load for coyotes though.

                  Are you getting 2590 FPS with the AR Comp load?

                      Vasux , yes sir I am getting 2590 with a single digit to low double digit SD's. I had one load that shot extremely well, little over a qtr inch during development. I had 2 loads that were very good. When I shot them in a 10 shot group this load beat out the other one by a few tenths. Its minute of angle + a smidge for 10 shots at 100 yards. Those are good bullets. My brother went through Sedalia this past summer so I got him to pick me up 3-400. I cant wait for somebody to plug a deer with one of em. Kilco thanks. Its a sitting rifle tho, not a walking around rifle.
