Got one big question for you. How do you get a 35 grain bullet to buck ANY wind at the ranges you are shooting???
Or do you not hunt on windy days.


Oh yea great job..............

How are you getting 4000 fps out of a 35 gr berger. Around 3800 is maxed out with the 30 gr bullet. The 35 gr falls into the 3500 fps max load category.. Just curious on your recipe that = the great success you are having.....

Keep it up.!!!!!!

I have a wind chart taped to my gun stock, it's visable in the pictures, I guess wind speed, hold out for estimated wind drift, it can be 3" at 300 yds or up to 24"

Which caliber are you thinking, imi brass, 25.2 gr of 4198, I got 4375fps with the old 33 gr vmax, it worked great some shots some shots the bullet blew up on the fur going in, that is not good, not a good bullet for coyote
R.204 seems to run 1-200fps slower, I think this round is more efficient than r204
I got my dies and load information from Todd Kindler, Ohio, woodchuckden.com

This year, I think could be because of almost all adults, I have a lower success rate on my stalks, I was running 75-90% success on stalking coyote, this year so far I'm at 50%.
I think 3 misses might be due to a dirty barrel, I get big groups with 30+ shots run through, I hadn't cleaned the barrel for a couple years, probably had more than thirty shots
