[QUOTE="tt35, post: 423849, member: 25362"] High BC bullets and "fur friendly" don't go together very well unless you get a stout bullet and figure on the coyotes runnining a ways if you don't hit the CNS or large bones. I'm shooting a .243AI with an eight twist barrel. It will shoot the high BC bullets and will run well over 1K rounds if you don't get too carried away with velocities. There are better cartridges to hit the varmint (pd) fields with but unless you are really going to be running it fast and furious, it will shoot a lot of coyotes. My son has a 58 grain V-max load that he shoots while calling that hits close enough to POA with his long range load that he can switch them out. That's about as close to fur friendly/long range as I've seen so far. The 58's do well on fur at calling ranges and AI velocities. You could probably do the same with a fast twist .22-250 using VLD's for LR and the 60 grain V-max at calling ranges. We've had pretty good luck with that bullet as well. [/QUOTE]
