[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2062946, member: 115658"] Always seeking guidance & direction from those having more wisdom and experience, I elected to observe the statement provided on page 347 of my 1st edition Berger manual in regard to use of the 75 grain .224 VLD bullet with the .22-.250 for shooting coyotes. I use H4350 & RL16 with that bullet and my Magneto speed chronograph tells me the velocities are 3250 out of a 26 long barrel. This combination has enabled me to successfully make all sorts of hits on a variety of targets some in excess of 600 yards. I will be shooting a 6mm-06 with the 95 grain Berger VLD .243 bullet and hope to get more than 3300 fps from it. Scarcity of primers has reduced use of my 6mm AI with its requirement to fire form cases. With the sad & depressing situation of the on-going shortage of components, my four .22-.250's using a variety of powders in the mid 30 grain charge weight range, like H4350, RL16, RS Hunter, H414, & StaBall will continue be my primary weapon to use against coyotes & long range rodents. The 75 grain Hornady ELDM bullet also performs well, costs less & expands better. I have no plans to do any of my shooting with a mega magnum that uses 80 or more grains of powder to shoot some small animal weighing 35 pounds or less. [/QUOTE]
