Skeezix,

I use a .243 for my coyote control work out to 600 yards (my farthest one-shot kill so far) using a Speer 75gr HP over 49.0gr Superformance, CCI BR-2 primers, C.O.A.L. 2.640" in my primary working rifle, and mostly Hornady brass.

For consistent LR shots in hot weather (over 90F), I use a 105gr Lapua Scenar-L over 41.5gr of IMR4350, CCI-BR2 primers, and C.O.A.L. 2.775".
If I'm shooting in lower temps, again with the 105gr Lapua Scenar-L, I'll go to 46.9gr Re26, CCI-BR2 primers, and C.O.A.L. of 2.795".

When I know I'm shooting consistently beyond 500 yards, I'll use my 6.5-280AI.

I wish you the best!

Ed
