[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 429898, member: 1133"] Buddy of mine made 3 1st shot kills on coyotes this last season at 785, 650, 535 yds. with his 243 AR-10. He's using the 87 V-Max which has a BC of .4. I also saw him kill a jackrabbit at 475 on the 2nd shot and a 470-yard coyote took a couple shots since we couldn't get an accurate range on it. I always thought the 243/87 V-Max was a good ~600 yd. combination. I also had a 6mmAI for many years that was a good long range shooter, but i could never get the 87 V-Max to shoot out of it--my choice for the best std.-twist varmint bullet. A lot of guys drive the 105's and others out of the 243/6mm-based cases with excellent results as well using faster-twisted barrels. [/QUOTE]
