[QUOTE="Flybuster, post: 176256, member: 8250"] Catfish those are all real good points you brought out. When you actually skin a coyote you will see there is not much target area there. Probably just alittle bigger than a rockchuck, at least the coyotes I have seen. I will easily admit that its going to take me at least 3 shots to get on him, probably more. Yeah you might get lucky, you might be a better shot than me. But its still hard. Especially since he's not going to be standing around. As for a cartridge, Look at F-class for a second. Their main objective is to hit a 5 inch circle at 1000 yards, 15 shots in a row. The Dominant cartridge right now seems to be the 6.5x284 for the open class, good ballistics and tollerable recoil. Lots of cartridges can be this accurate I suppose, but that fact tells me something its winning because it does really well in the wind and is really accurate. Its popular because its easy to load for and the high B.C. bullets available to it. I would think this would be a really awesome long range coyote gun. [/QUOTE]
