[QUOTE="Flybuster, post: 164323, member: 8250"] I haven't connected with a coyote yet with the 87 speer tnt. But I have shot rockchucks and clay pigeons out to 850 yards. I am shooting them slightly faster than a 25-06, with my ackly improved. My load is (ackley improved 25-06) 57 grains of IMR-4350,CCI-BR primer shooting at 3600 fps. They are suprisingly accurate at long range, being a flat based bullet. I can even push them faster than 3600 but accuracy falls off. Speer says some barrels (depending on smoothness) can shoot them faster than 3600. My friend shoots his .243 ackly with 70 tnts at 3700, if I remember right. Anything further than 850 yards I shoot the Sierra matchkings. I went out today at Mt. Emily, just after mile post 17 on Summit road,theres a place I can shoot literally thousands of yards. When theres no wind its pretty easy to connect on 1' rocks with this bullet at 1100 yards. Its so fun I've been doing it all weekend. P.S. You can order Speer TnT bullets through Bi-Marts sporting goods, without shipping and handling. [/QUOTE]
