[QUOTE="Naymola, post: 2458887, member: 3843"] It is not my intent to offend anyone here, I apologize in advance, but some of these recommendations are atrocious! A 17 HMR at 400 yards or some other varmint round dropping 4' at 400 yards, are you kidding me! My 20-250 with 40's drops 8" at 400 with a 200 yard zero or my 22-243 has a 10" drop with 55's. A guy really has to weed through the advice given on forums! You sound as if you just want to kill a few coyote and not make a profession of it? And have an assortment of calibers to choose from. Rather than spending the time and expense to have a dedicated coyote rifle built, that .300 would do it i guess. I haven't looked at bullet weights in 30 caliber Varmint configurations in years, something like 125 grains the last time I've looked into it??? If so, try out a 125 grain. That will give you the flat trajectory needed and also a big reduction in recoil. [/QUOTE]
