New round

[JoshT]

Josh, what powder would you recomend in a .243 win. with a 95 gr. berger bullet. It looks like you have a lot of experience in 6mm. I don't like hot loads at all.

Something pretty slow... RE-22 works well in my 6mm... Ramshot Magnum produces great velocities too. Most guys get caught up in the 4350 type powders... too fast for optimum performance with the heavier pills. The 95 Berger will handle a little more powder too... it's long, but the bearing surface is very short... and you can run them a little faster than other bullets of equal weight.

How do you decide what's a "hot" load?

Sounds interesting cat. I'll be picking up that 240 you, killbilly and I talked about at cabelas, should be about the same thing, which ain't bad... Later

257 Wby Mag We need to get together so you can show me a coyote  Also i think I am going to go with a long action round and go with a 6mm/284  sounds cool 

[JoshT]

The only coyote he's going to show you is the one on his wall...

6/284 is a good round... don't think a long action will gain you anything though. If you're going with a long action... why not just go 6/06... that way you could neck down 25-06 brass and fire away?

Good one, killa....

If you want to shoot a Lope at 700yds? Use a 264 Win Mag!!! 

[JoshT]

Good one, killa....

Hey... I want to come yote hunting with you.

Jud's coyote hunting technique:
1. Sit on the back porch...
2. Crack a cold one...
3. Wait for coyote to show up on bait pile...
4. Shoot coyote (or in Jud's case... shoot at coyote)...
5. Repeat as necessary...

Don't get any better than that for some coyote hunting... beats the hell out of freezing your ass off on the side of some canyon blowing on a call like a goon.

Or go to the eastside, with spotlight, drive around all night, and slick em up outta fields..... With the heat cranked. grin...

Looking forward to the trip.

Hey... I only crank the heat up in January... 'till then I man up and deal with the cold.
