[QUOTE="xdeano, post: 845601, member: 18103"] The 22-250 is good on coyotes but i wouldn't give it an 880yd round. Maybe 400yds. The reason why I'd only give it only a 400yd rating is because of barrel twist rate and bullet weight. Most factory barrels are a pretty slow twist. Now if you were to get a decent twist rate, 7.5 and stick an 80grn berger in it, you'll give it a little more room to move. The increased bc on the heavy bullet is where it's at. I'm only shooting a 50grn nosler BT at 3500fps in a 12 twist. 26" barrel. It does great on fur if that's what your asking, but i definitely wouldn't push it to far. If you want to push it, move up to a 243 and a bigger bullet. xdeano [/QUOTE]
