[QUOTE="Flybuster, post: 176430, member: 8250"] Guys, I had this link in my favorites list. Its a ballistics calculator that tells you the optimal game weight for your bullet. [url=http://www.biggameinfo.com/index.aspx?page=%2fbalcalc.ascx]External Ballistics Calculator[/url] Thanks Ol' Mike I think I got the link from you. Anyways, for the 6mm dasher(6br IMP.40) shooting a 105 grain bullet at 3050, at 1000 yards you have 558 foot lbs and the calculator says optimal game weight of 61 pounds. So since most of the coyotes I have seen are under that I would say go ahead and shoot one with the right bullet. Probably the 105 amax would be a good choice. That's the gun I am building right now so thats good to know, since it will be a multi-purpose rifle anyways (varminting,F-class and benchrest). It will be hell on squirrels too! might look into that one Sig. [/QUOTE]
