David Walter, I use 105 gr. Scenar, 41.5 gr H- 4350, CCI-200, OAL 2.810" Works great in my Cooper, AKA as Bloody Mary. Rio7 This is a old Coyote, getting the young dumb Coyotes is easy getting the old smart ones is tough.

RIO7, while all these Coyotes need to be hunted you still have the leisure to produce high precision reloads? How many of these cirtters do you shoot within a year?

RIO7 with all the coyote control that you do has it had a positive effect on cattle, deer and other wildlife?

Deans, Our Whitetail fawn crop has gone up from 46% to 52% over the last 5 years. and we have other predators besides Coyotes, and according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife, Coyotes get 30% of our Quail, Quail hunting, is a big part of what we do. our Exotics reproduction has also increased about 20%. this place is like a big dinner bucket for predators. i'm just slowing them down some, and hunting Coyotes keeps me out of the Whore Houses and Bars, in the off season.
