Title: 100 dead coyotes!
Post by: Tracker0721 on December 10, 2019, 08:20:51 PM: In a perfect world... 50 grain nosler ballistic tip/varget. My 22-250 likes these at 200 yards. Should last me the fur season. Watching some coyote hunting on the tv and the pup has his nose touching it, head sideways, and a little grumble occasionally. He wants to hunt em too I guess!

The first reloading I ever did was 200 rnds of .223 with those 50 gr nosler ballistic tips and 26gr Varget. They were very accurate and took a few rockchucks and prairie dogs.

Now I usually use Hornady V-max or Z-max in 50gr and Varget or H335 for powder. I've had good results with those too.

My brother just got a Savage 12FV in 22-250 from a black friday sale. Will be looking for a load for that soon.

Same here. Mine is just a cheap Stevens with a Bushnell 4-12 on it. With a bipod it makes 1 ragged hole at 100 yards

I just loaded 100 rounds for my 22-250 yesrerday. The way I shoot that is good for 6 yotes :chuckle:

My Savage likes 34.6 of IMR 4064 with 55gr Nosler BT's
