[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1761458, member: 87243"] Yup, I actually linked it in this thread. If it could be done in a 26" that would be nice, would make a decent truck gun. I have a message in with Steve at hammer bullets discussing bullets right now, he is likely out hunting but I am hoping that whenever I go forward with this that he would be interested in putting a bullet together that could survive such a launch, I also plan on discussing twist rates with him as well. and yup, I posted earlier that I plan on getting 2 barrels to start with, 1 will be for finding the right combo of components to maximize velocity and the other will be the hunting tube. Isn't Ramshot Magnum just a little faster than LRT as well? It is right in there with H1000 and Retumbo for burn rate, it may be an option as well if LRT is too slow. As far as 400 yards coyote point blank, I figure no higher than 3" at highest point, and no lower than 3" at max range, and 400 yards is kind of the minimum. I would prefer to have as far as a +3-3 zero as possible. The majority of adult western coyotes only measure 6"-7", they are of course bigger with fur, but the part that the bullet cares about is only around 6ish inches, so that is where I came up with the +3-3 zero.
