[QUOTE="tt35, post: 520696, member: 25362"] SBruce brings you good advice. I'd also suggest getting a faster twist .223 to use high BC bullets. You may get lucky and find a lighter bullet that will shoot to the same POA for your closer shots. You should be able to get the MOA values for the VH reticle from Leupold's site. You may have to look at one of the owner's manuals to find it. The reticle is calibrated for less than maximum power however and I generally shoot at the highest magnification so I recalculated for max power. I had to get the factors from Leupold. I may still have them. PM me if you're interested. Asto coyote calling ranges, 95% of our called coyotes are taken inside 250 yards. We feel confident with shots inside 200 so we'll usually stop them when they get to 175 to 150 yards which is about maximum midrange trajectory for most varmint cartridges. It caused too many misses. We now sight our calling rifles in for 200yards. We can hold dead on out to 250 yards. [/QUOTE]
