Once you settle on a caliber, i found a website that has small quantities of bullets to use for load development. Saved me a few bucks getting things figured out. Its www.bulletsamples.store

as far as the scope that is on the rifle, you may laugh.... its a 6-24x60mm barska tactiacl scope. i bought one as my first target scope for my 220 swift sendero, and it tracked so well that i bought another one for my 6.5. Money was an issue at the time obviously. i hate to say it, but it...

yes, i am in john day oregon. i shot that coyote of some private land just west of dixie crk rd. who are you? youve seen my rifle?

nice shooting! most people dont realize how far 700 yards truly is while trying to hit a coyote. i rencently got a coyote w/ my 6.5 284, check out my posts if you get a few mins!
