its not hard at all, takes good equipment and a bit of studying ballistics, there are members here who have saw my method, they know it works. I miss one now and then, not often.

If you are shooting long range you are shooting off a good solid rest. Cant of the rifle will effect you mostly side to side. A coyote is a lot longer than his chest is high. If you pull your shot it will usually be side to side. Wind will effect you mostly side to side I think this might be why we disagree.

so shooting a coyote in the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) is ok then? yep he's longer than he is tall so your bullet happens to POI 2.5" above POA, and the wind moves it a bit back, you just shot him in the flank, he runs 2 miles and lays down, will you find him?

point out where it was about stock killing coyotes please? if I shoot them I want them dead, no matter why, what, or when, if your gonna shoot something, it should be as humane as possible. maybe its my ethics, but I don't wanna leave anything crippled.

I agree. But in this case, losing the chance on some of these yotes isn't acceptable. Trapping isn't enough for the livestock killers where I'll be and I need to have the capability to reach.

put the bullet where it needs to be and snow is a moot point, it takes practice and experience, but hit them right, go to the last place you saw them and pick up the trail. have taken 60 some deer from 400 to 1350 yards, never had as much trouble finding them as I have some of those shot at 75 yards.

does it make a big difference if the bloodtrail is made by a coyote or a deer? hit them right they leak till they run dry then fall over, is that not correct?

That's why I stated 4 1/2" kill zone as what another guy said a coyote kill zone is, so 1 MOA at 4-500 yards would be on the money, if you know your weapon. 4-5" screw up at center mass to what you guys shoot. Any who. 204 ruger at 400 is about 12.6" of drop zeroed at 200 yards, read your box what the bullets came in, can't remember exactly. Make a shot book, an load all the data you collect into it from every shot you take. Temp, barometric pressure, you know basic surroundings that affect bullet path. An sitting there for hours you should know about where to start shooting. Distance wise. My kill zone is a lot smaller. I shoot seals from a boat, in the Arctic Ocean, an head shots are the only acceptable shot, or the seal slips back off the ice an gone. 200-350 yards is normal. DOA most the time with 204 an minimal damage to my food an no Kentucky windage needed as long as it's calm.

When I ran the swift I had alright luck with the speed 52 grain hollowpoint. The one that has a bucket sized hollowpoint
Maybe...never tried them. Right now it's shooting 55 gr Vmax Hornadys. What bullet maker do you recommend?

I'm not sure which brand this guy in this guy in town used, he said it worked well in his 250, nosler 55 worked good in my .223, but 250 and swift have much more speed, vmax doesn't work good on coyote in my T.20

Buddy shot one at between 800-900 yards with his .223 rock river this weekend. Maxed out my range finder at 500. Then there were another 300-400 yards beyond that.

Crazy things do happen to say the least.

Believable, was able to hit 20x40 targets with my m-4 at 600 with the open sights the army gave us. Gotta love the 223.
