As "larger" 224 goes.I shoot Speedmire,22-250AI and CHeetah. 'Course I shoot Swift too,but they suck enough,so as to not rate serious conversation. Hint.

Of the trio,it's Speedmire by lightyears for me. Hint................

All the best things in life, live on the other side off fear.

The true eye sees not the despair of its victims, only the elegance of equilibrium. It's a demonstration of superior judgment.

A double busted me before I saw them. Sent one at around 230 yds and on a full run and dropped her. Sent 2 more at the lead yote but couldn’t connect.

Upon retrieval I realized that you don’t need to lead much with the 22CM. Damn near took her head off! Both eyes not popped out but completely blown out and off side of head had a hole I could put my fist in. Gruesome so say the least.

Quick sit before work. This big male might have been the mate running with the female I shot last weekend.
Never played a distress sound, just invitation howls.

He hung up at 312 yds so I sent a 75 ELDM his way.

If only for conversation,a 75 ELD at 3450fps in the following atmosphere,do thusly. Hint.

So a target at 230yds,moving 10mph,requires a 36" lead. 20mph being double,if only obviously,at 72". Figuring a full tilt escape at 35mph and that's a 126" lead,travelling at 90-degrees from the muzzle. Hint.................

That's precisely what I calculated in my head in the heat of the moment... just off a few inches grin wink

It's why I like a GOOD FFP Milscale reticle,because Base Ten is as easily applied to leads,as it is to atmospherics. You'll note how the angular lineal measurement,slides nicely on the Milscale and it's a paltry 4.4 to 6.3 Base Ten Lead Shift,from 50 to 1000yds. Hint.

I tend to keep such things in my ocular. Hint.................

Takes quick thinking for the proper leade. There is about zero time for charts and ranging, especially when the coyote is quartering away with turbos and boost full power. laugh

Them little red fox we have here are SOB on the run. They all don't escape though..grin

Hardly "daunting" to Base Ten leads and factor same into the equation,well prior to the first shot. Hint.

Seldom does Guessing,begin to factor connect percentages like KNOWING,whether it elevation,wind or leads. Hint...............

Find a T3/T3x in .223 with the 1:8 and punch it out. Easy peasy . . .

Or better yet find one of the 1-8 22-250 Tikka made and punch it out... that way you don’t have to worry about messing with the BF

Euro-Optic had the T3X Lite 22-250, 1/8 twist, 22”, stainless bbl for $680 a while back. As you say, just punch it out.

Great thread with some nice hardware.

Lots of times the first shot is on a mover with a rifle.

Play with the shotgun lots these days ..they running many times also. Very seldom they out run the Benelli.

Only if I had Sticks money 😉
Or.... when I cook the barrel on the big 17 .

I'm still trying to decide on a scope for my most current purchase.

It’s antlerless (doe) season right now and I really wanted to test this setup at a little longer range. So I set up in a spot where I would get about a 500ish yard shot if they came through where they normally do.

An hour after sunrise this big male came through the pasture so it quickly turned into a coyote hunt. He stopped at 375 quartering away hard, I dialed 2.5MOA on the V4 and sent it. Dropped like he was struck by lightening. No exit

Right at 10:00 I ended up having about 15 does and fawns come through right where I figured they would but for some reason they were all running and they never stopped. Something spooked them and I didn’t ever see what it was. It would have been a perfect 515ish yard shot scenario. Next time....
