[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 147873, member: 7"] [ QUOTE ] with the barrel twist this rifle probably has what would be the best bullet to use for long range coyote sniping? [/ QUOTE ] Unless it's a custom ordered barrel, it most likely has a 10:1 twist (called a 10" twist). There are those that think a light bullet can't be accurate in a fast twist, but that it not true. Many people that have twists as fast as 7" shoot very light bullets with great success. Plus the higher rotational speed will cause the bullet to make much more impact damage on arrival to the critter! You might try loading the bullets to touch the rifling - that will do a lot for accuracy. I shot a 300WM for long range varmints for a while, and used heavy bullets (178 A-Maxs). I thought they were good at first, and they were accurate, but they often punched through the critter, and then they bounced around the north forty. I went to 110 V-Maxs and they are like a hand grenade, and even when you miss, you won't get bullets bouncing around - they come apart on the first dirt they hit. They will lift a large woodchuck 3 to 5 feet in the air out past 600yds, and tear up a feral dog or yote something awful at 1,000yds! You can do very well with the 125 BT or the 110 V-Max. . [/QUOTE]
