[QUOTE="mrb1982, post: 1033880, member: 50419"] Yeah I have a friend that has reloading equipment so I have started to gravitate toward using his stuff ever since I got started shooting long range. Now that I see how much it can help, and how much more accurate you can make your gun for essentially the same cost or less of factory ammo in most cases, I do it for pretty much all my guns. I have a 270 win that I have had since I was 14 and always shot factory ammo in it. Well, I decided to bed it this winter and I am just starting some preliminary load work up on it. Be kinda cool to see my long time first deer rifle I ever owned come up with some good ammo and see what it can really do. Probably make me wish I never moved on from it. On that note, in the back of my mind, the 243 has always seemed like be best way to go for me on this coyote thing. the 22-250 has that stigma of course, and the 223 is nice because it is cheap. But living in the west, you gotta have somethign that can buck the wind in my opinion. I might be best served to go with a sporter barrel 243, load some 87gr bullets, and get after it. I have thought about trying to shoot some of the lighter 243 bullets. I will use remington as an example because I tend to lean toward them. They are the most comfortable to me and I already own a couple of them.. My question would be, for lets say a 65-75 grain bullet, would I be able to shoot something that light out of a 9.25 twist made to shoot the bullets closer to 100gr? [/QUOTE]
