6.5 creedmoore insane ballistics.

Of course since I said that last night, I tipped this one over today at 361 yards according to my range finder with my AR.




~ADC~

Since the wind is always just a gentle breeze around here I really lik my .6mm Remington or the .25-06 I'm pulling everyone's leg about the wind, our forecast is for wind speeds of 30-50 mph with gusts up to 70 mph.
Stay Safe out there.

Anyone know if you can buy ..204 brass and what it goes for?

Hey John, I think calling one in and then blowing it up with a hand grenade would be more fitting for you ... those pale Montana coyotes aren't all that anyways.

Yes you can buy .204 brass somewhere in the 25-30 dollar range per 100.

big hole in that one

I bought 500 rounds of imi brass, all I have to do is remove the powder, bullet, primer, and form it to tactical .20, imi best brass I know of

Now I hate all of you. Lol. Ill just stick to my throwing knives.

I think every single one of you are making sense.

It's really easy John buy one of each of the above mentioned rifles besides you have kids right and they're going to need a rifle sooner than later anyway.

Allan, I'm gonna need to come cry on your shoulder. Lol.

All I know is I watched 2 yotes run from the cattle from across the river while I was there and I felt naked because I didn't have something to reach.

I know a lot of 6MM and 25 cal,s even some 22 cal, load VLD bullets are capable of making 500-700 yard shots, but in the real world of calling, there aint THAT many people that can realistically make those 600 plus yard shots.....sure the right gun and right man can shot 2-6" groups at that yardage, off a bence w/ sandbagged gun or even prone w/ a bipod, but of most the time calling your sitting on your hauches, with a longer pr of shooting sticks, with more wobble, and it AINT that easy....remember a broadside coyote chest is about 8" max, so figure out there 6-700, you 4" low, or 4" high usually is a miss.......and unless your DARN good at estimating range, or always got a rangefinder on hand, your just about out of the ballgame before ya start.....under or over estimate range 30-50 yards your bullet drop alone just takes ya outta the ballgame.....Im sure there a FEW guys, and a few on here, that can consistanly do it, with the right gun, and prolly a rangefinder in hand, unless youve been doing a LOT of long range shooting over a number of years, and one of them things if you dont stay in practice constantly you get a little rusty.......I kinda think MOST of time, those super heavy VLD bullets, arent going to be the best fur bullet over the entire range spectrum, and many times requires a custom barrel w/ a special twist.......Im gonna say for 90% of the shooters out there, would more served shooting a 22 c/f cal, with 55 gr bullet weight max, and better yet 50 grains, and stay fur friendly on the bulk of 100-300 yard shots, and still have good chances at the occasional 400-500 yards........lets face not EVERYONE is a marine corps sniper capable shooter....even if ya THINK you are......and even some of them guys, im betting based on a 8" chest cav coyote, might have a tough time on some 600 yard coyotes compared to center mass of a human, where ya got about 24" from the crotch to the head (12" high or low)....Im not trying to take anything away from anyone, as some can pull off such shots, when everything is lined out right....

Back when I used to call/shoot alot, got me a 400 yard view right straight in front of me, pretty much got it all planned hes gonna come right straight in from my desired shooting position, got the gun on the sticks wiggle rock solid into the dirt, been shooting alot and know the gun and the load.....and they come in 90 degrees to where i think, move the bipod, now my sticks are wiggling,and I got one leg of bipod on a dam rock that that moves too much, scopes at a cant, etc ,etc....and I miss the durn thing at a 125 yard, LOL

I went thru the phase where I shot enough when shooting p'dogs and bench shooting all the time (20 years ago kinda pre-rangefinder days), that I had the gun to shoot 500 yards, and got thinking Im GOOD enough to shoot coyotes consistanly at 500 yards......but my back couldnt hack dragging in the shooting bench to every stand....LOL

good post rich

running away coyotes getting shot at just makes them more afraid of humans, take the good high percentage shots , get more killed that way.

Will, I think you're onto something. I can sell finger warmers with all the little pieces. Lol.

I agree with you Rich, I for one have missed coyotes this winter that I normally wouldn't miss. I'm planning on many a trip to the range with more than one of my rifles.
John watching them coyotes run isn't fun on days like that.
Allan

Judd, keep my beer cold. Lol.
