[QUOTE="jghoghunter, post: 448876, member: 3782"] The 222 was the 1st varmint rifle that I bought for myself in 1983. I just figured the other day looking back over my records that I've shot close to 10,000 rnds thru that gun since then. I shot it at the range last month for fun at 200 yds 3 shot groups ran from 1"-2.5" I'm pretty happy with that. As for how far I would try to kill a coyote I wouldn't try a shot much over 300 yds. My longest shot on a ground hog that was stepped off 485yds (long before the days of a laser range finder). That was off a bipod and it had taken 3 shots to get the elevation using 50 hornady sxsp and they didn't do more than one small hole in and that was it. Shot hit solid in the chest. Yotes are pretty tough critters and I don't think there is enough power to kill them reliable every time much beyond 300. [/QUOTE]
