Title: 130 VLD 1- Coyote -0
Post by: Jim the Plumber on December 22, 2012, 04:55:05 PM: Cruising the edge of the orchard this am and we spotted this gal at 291+ yards up hill at about 60 degrees up angle.
At the shot she rolled down about 30 yards, and piled up.
The 130 hunting VLD left a fist sized hole on the off side shoulder.
I was using my Rbros Rogue action rifle chambered in 6.5x47Lapua, Gemtec can and 130's at about 2950.
As you can see I wasn't dressed for success and it took my fat ass 45 minutes using hands and feet for the climb :-)

A view to the truck, I'm thinking "I still have to go back down!?"

"I think the shot came from over there"...
