Finally got the 55 gr .228 Buffalo Arms bullets and I think I'm going to like this. Switched the scope to a 1.5-4.5x20 Nikon Monarch with finer crosshairs, the 1.5-6x40mm 's objective bell was too large for the mount I have. 2 1/8" center to center at 300 yards. ![[Linked Image]](http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y222/Browndaug/.6x52R%20001_zpsijw1lif2.jpg)
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

The 5.6X52R (22Sav HP) is a very good deer round. Especially for a recoil sensitive lady or youngster. I just sold a JP Sauer combo in that caliber & 16 ga. on my site. I thought long & hard about keeping it, but I have to draw the line someplace. The guy says it's a tack driver. I deliberately didn't shoot the gun for that reason. I knew it would be, and I'd want to keep it  We suffer from the same affliction, Bray.

I use the Buffalo 150 grain .318 bullets in 8X57JR and they perform very well. Good expansion & penetration. Haven't used the .228's but they should be tough bullets too.

I had the pleasure of a visit from Erich today. That BRNO looks like a rock-solid coyote machine!

Very nice. Another properly incentivized and managed coyote. You'll enjoy that gun looks like.
