[QUOTE="Savage101, post: 926576, member: 78123"] My mind is going to explode, I'm new to this, and I understand it's practice, practice, practice. but I need a starting point. My rifle is a Savage model 10 predator Hunter Max 1 in .243 with a Vortex PST 4x16 FFP scope, it's got a 1:9.25 twist and a 24" barrel (probably not the best long range rifle, but I'm just starting out and it's all I can afford right now). I've read about twist rates, bullet weights, bullet lengths etc. till my head is going to pop, it's all confusing, everytime I read something and have my mind set, I read another article that disputes it!. I need a starting point, for a good accurate and EFFECTIVE factory bullet (I DON'T hand load yet, but maybe soon) for Coyote hunting out to 400+ yards. Don't necessarily want to blow them in half but don't want them running too far either (I understand bullet placement is a vital part of this equation) Can any one recommend a bullet weight, type, manufacture and effective range for this barrel that I can at least start with? I was thinking of using a Barnes Vor-tx 80gn TTSX but now I'm not sure anymore. Anyways, thanks in advance guys/girls hope to hear from someone... [/QUOTE]
