[QUOTE="SumTingWong, post: 2128150, member: 110341"] So, I've been reading and reading and reading about various coyote setups, including going through the entire "Let's see your coyote rifle!" thread, and realized that it's not healthy to do all that looking. Now I may have to build more than 1 rig! I've always wanted a 22-250, and am primarily focused towards that chambering. Since I overanalyze the crap out of everything, I'm going to itemize my list of concerns. Before I start the list, one important piece of info, [B]I'm in the People's Republic of Kalifornie, and therefore required to use non-lead[/B]. 1) I do NOT reload. I don't plan on rapid-firing at prairie dogs; mainly focusing on coyotes. What is the heaviest cartridge I should consider when determining needed twist? I have deer rifles, and don't plan on using this for anything larger, so I'm guessing 55gr - 65gr is more than enough? I plan on shooting between 100 to 500 yds, with the vast majority of shots around 150 to 250. 2) After reading all I could about 22-250 and non-lead, I'm thinking 1:10 twist would be ideal for my situation. Thoughts? 3) I've always wanted an AR, and would love some input as to whether or not that will work in my situation. 4) Is it really beneficial to use a tripod with an AR in this situation? I was thinking it might be cumbersome to move from spot to spot. 5) What would be the recommended barrel lengths for either AR or standard rifle? 6) What would you recommend (brand/model) for OTC non-lead ammo that may have slightly conservative loading, so as to extend barrel life a bit? 7) I like the idea of using a silencer. Will that notably affect performance in this situation? Positives/negatives? 8) Recommendations for a company that may provide a complete setup like this, in the recommended twist? So far, the vast majority of builders I've seen sell 1:12 or 1:14. Thanks for the help! Feel free to add anything I may have missed. [/QUOTE]
