[QUOTE="jt183, post: 919846, member: 61360"] For the last four seasons my go-to rockchuck shooter has been my .243. It's a 24" barrel with a 1 in 10 twist which stabilizes up to a 100 grain Hornady BTSP just fine. My long range bullet is the 87 gr V-Max. However, 55 gr Ballistic Tips, 60 gr Sierra HPs, 58 gr Z-Max, and 55 gr Sierra BKs all shoot to virtually the same point of impact and I use them for the closer distances. With the Varmint Hunter reticle in my VX-3 I have solid holdovers out to 600 yards. Anything farther than that I have to dial. This is a picture of a first round hit at 725 yards with an 87 gr V-Max this spring. [ATTACH]31553.vB[/ATTACH] These were taken with the lighter bullets out to 400 yards. [ATTACH]31554.vB[/ATTACH] The only good thing about coyote season coming to an end is the fact that rockchuck season is just about to begin! [/QUOTE]
