Thanks for answering.

I was wondering, do you guys have a dedicated high power scope for load development? I am using what i have on my rifle which is a 6x Vortex which is a great scope. For for load development would i need a higher magnification and use that so i can actually see the bullseye alot easier? :rolleyes:

So i finally took chrono to the range to see what my loads would do. Finally just used old spotting scope tripod to mount chrono on. It works great! Now my question to you more experienced loaders. How do i interpret the chrono info? SD,ES,Avg? My best groups had the lowest numbers. I worked up...

Well i finally put in for a deer hunt this yr. Pretty positive that i am going to get a tag. But my question is, Do i hunt with a light bullet going fast or do i hunt with a heavy bullet going slower? I will be using my .243 which i use most of the time for hunting yotes. I will be hand loading...

I am trying a new bullet for yotes. I am going to try Speer TNTs. Anyone use these before. I was using ballistic tips before exclusively but got tired of having a live animal when i went to retreive the yote. Ballistic tips are good if you get heart shots all the time but if you are off they...

Ladder testing burns lots of powder and time! I tried the ladder test and i used alot of time,powder, primers and bullets. I agree anything 200 yds or less is useless for ladder testing. The one thing i found from ladder testing is that there are at least 2 nodes you will see. One near the...

I was wondering is there a set size for different circles to use at different ranges? I bought one of those BDC type scopes and wanted to check how accurate it really is. So i use a 1" circle at 100 yds then 2" @200yds. Do i just make the circle bigger one inch every 100yds? I was hitting the...

Another tip for using hand calls is to not make sudden movements! When using hand calls coyotes or bobcats can and will locate where the sound is coming from. Almost like they have sonar and can pin point the location of the call. Advantage e-call. Also if you can see the critter ,he can...

Well thanks for replies.

I use a 223 for coyotes until i purchased a 243. Love it for coyotes. I shoot 70 gr Nosler and Sierra BT for them. Great knock down power and father reach than my 223. I carry my 243 more because my hunting buddy carries a AR15 for coyotes and he carries more ammo if needed to finish the job...
