[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2832395, member: 69478"] I have a 1-8 twist on my .243 and have shot Berger 108BT bullets and currently shooting custom Hottenstein 105gr Barnstormer bullets. I shoot RL23 in mine and run the 105s at 3045-3060fps. I have tried RL26 but it fouled the barrel heavily and caused a lot of carbon build up. I used Winchester brass initially, but some of the primer pockets loosened up after 2-3x reloads. I switched to Lapua brass and have had excellent experience with it. I use Federal 210M primers. This barrel and load shoots excellent and it has great terminal effects on grounds hogs and I’ve shot 2 deer with the Hottenstein bullets as well. They tear ground hogs up, so I don’t think they would be fur friendly on coyotes if that matters to you. I have ran 66gr Bishop benchrest bullets in this 1-8 barrel and have had decent results with them. So if you have to run 70-87gr bullets for coyotes, I don’t think you’ll have an issue with the 1-8T.
