Only the top of his head was visable at 165 yards, so I sent a 300 grain SMK his way  _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | ||

Nice rig, but did you have enough energy to have ethically taken that coyote? If ignorance is bliss; there are some blissful sonofaguns around here. We know who you are, so no reason to point yourselves out. | |||

Hang on a second Hitman, let me grab my calculator and figure out if he had enough energy to actually kill that coyote -- he might be faking it.......

I don't know JWP, might should have "paid the insurance" with one more round? Nahh, don't think he's gonna need that hide anymore, do you?

Yup, I'd have shot him at least two more times -- just to make sure. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

I shot 225 grain Hornady soft points on groundhogs for a summer out of a 338 lapua. Sako m995. It worked. | |||

That's good shooting... What type of cheek piece is that on your gun? | |||

I use my 7mmRM w/ 140gr Ballistic tips for woodchucks on occasion. The BT's are to explosive for real game. | |||

JWP, AWESOME! FYI: THere's a wolf season in Montana now. Not sure where you live, but you are cordially invited out here to see if the 338, though seemingly sufficient to kill a coyote, will work on a wolf. I have my doubts, the only way to prove it is to kill one. I've read about your long muley kill this year, now this. Any chance you'd put a list of equipment that you use down for us? | |||

Thanks for the invite, I'd love to smok a Wolf. They are rather reclusive and difficault to hunt, at least in Alasks they are. My equipment consists of a Kestrell 3500 pocket weather station, inorder to get barometric pressure, temp, humidity, and wind speed. I also use the Nightforce version of Ex-bal ballsiticsa targeting software program. I have it on my desk top computer as well as a handheld computor that I can take into the field. If the operetunity presents itself for a truely long shot I can imput real time data for more precise infomation. I also use ballistic card that I make and carry in my shirt pocket. Ballistics cards  Hand held computer and the Kestrell 3500  I also use a Swarovski laser range finder I hope I have answered your question _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||
