i went out this morning by some feilds i know got some pictures of some elk and turkey's, went down the road a mile or so and seen a dog way out there, about 850 yards out there. i looked at my data and watched him, he started to come closer to a fence in between us and then walked a long it at 700 or so yards. i layed down took a shot hit im back, he yelped and then ran about 50 yards, i then shot again and dropped him. i went out to check him out and the shot was about 725 yards. thats my personal best so far. befor this one it was by holding over at 546 this winter.

i have one with a 1:12 twist pushing 70 grain ballistic tips at about 3650 and my furthest this winter was 546 and the other ackley is the one from this weekend. i love the round, but lately have seen that a fast twist .224 caliber twisted fast running 75 grain v max's will out perform the 70 grain ballistic tip from my ackley. i either need to bump up my ackley load or switch it to the .224 caliber with a fast twist.

What kind of range finder are you using to get a reading on a coyote that far out?
Him or me? I'm assuming you mean the shooter but I have a Bushnell Scout 1000. Do you think that would do it? For some reason I remember reading that it would do reflective targets out to 1000 but non-reflective was alot less, like 400 maybe? Cant remember.

the range finder said 710 yards i believe when i went out and ranged back to my car i got 725 or rite around there and i shot maybe a yard or two from my car. so 700 ish i had my scope dialed for 700yards and dropped the coyote on the second hit. first hit would have killed him with in another 10 minutes or so, but i hurried that along.

Hey I believed you all along! :chuckle: But cool pics, thanks for posting them. How did you get that shot thru the range finder? That is cool!
i held my camera on my phone up against the eyepiece of the rangefinder and at that range it wasnt easy to hold still enough for that pic
