[QUOTE="Chopperguy, post: 1066358, member: 48608"] My light varmint/coyote rifle is rather old school. I went to a 250/300, or the old 250 Savage. It's shooting 85 grain Nosler V Max Varmint loads over 3100 fps and getting well under 1/2 MOA. Best thing is I found a load using Varget that is that accurate and fast. I love using it as with a rifle like this I could be shooting in below 0 or very warm temps. It is an amazing little cartridge. I used to use a 25-06 and it worked well, however I paid for it's accuracy with increased recoil and muzzle blast. The coyotes fall like a brick when hit with the 250. If we ever get the opportunity to use suppressors here, this will get one and then the varmints will have even more to fear from the 250! [/QUOTE]
