[QUOTE="JBDekes, post: 2322982, member: 107223"] Alright all, here's a few questions I'm looking to answer but I have some limitations, detailed below. Limitations: Game: deer, antelope, coyotes (main focus) Action: rem model 7, magnum bolt face (300WSM donor) Stock is already fit. MAX RANGE: 600yds coyotes (very ocassional that range) 400 all others -- I know seems odd in Long Range, just don't want to take my chances for the games sake Bare rifle weight 7lbs max Questions: 1. I'm thinking one of these 2 rounds to buck wind during cold winter days. Can be 25 miles consistently and am limited days to hunt so critical I can hunt in whatever wind the days provide. Any others that may be suggested? Would like decent pelts, BUT, eliminating the darn coyote is my owners demands. 2. If using either of these two, are there any bullet recommendations? I was thinking this is an opportunity to start playing with Mono's as I haven't jumped down that rabbit hole yet...... my thoughts were to shoot same bullet for all, load for biggest and see how it performs. 3. Was thinking a #2 or #3 taper steel barrel but short barreled (22") to keep it well balanced. Am I missing anything other than a little speed? I don't want to short myself is there is a significant opportunity. 4. Twist rate for any recommended bullets? Was thinking a 1:9 but maybe I'm wrong with that. Any feedback is greatly appreciated [/QUOTE]
