[QUOTE="augnmike, post: 152100, member: 8267"] Sierra22, I will pm you about loads as I am interested in working up some loads for his rifle for coyotes. These animals weigh in at an average of about 25 lbs where I hunt. They can be tough animals, don't get me wrong but we kill them decisively with .204's and 39 grain bullets at ranges of 300 yards and slightly beyond. Typically our shots are under 150 yards though since the challenge of the sport is to call them as close as possible. I do some depredation work on coyotes on several ranches and in those cases we shoot 'em where we find 'em and that can mean long shots. I think the round for me will be either the 70 gr Nosler or I am hearing that the 65 gr V-Max might be good for predators as well, but I would be curious as to your opinions. In a perfect world I will be able to shoot the 65 and 70 for predators getting the velocity I want but whatever barrel I put on this rifle would also shoot a larger "deer" sized round too. That way if I want to take a deer or a pig with this rifle, let's say within 200 yards I can. I would merely put the appropriate adjustments on the Nightforce NXS scope I am planning to mount on this rifle. Any advice on barrel twist or loads? [/QUOTE]
