Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints Varmint hunting with medium bore rifles

Still a cool picture though!

Did it kill 'em?

I can't wait to shoot a varmint with the recent load I made up in my Sendero SF II chambered in .300 RUM!

97 grains of RL-19 (Extractor marks)
150 grain Nosler ballistic tips
Remington brass
3.700" COAL
Velcocity - 3700 ft/s

I wonder what that would do to a coyote or woodchuck within 100 yards? Guess I'll have to find out.

Great pictures guys!

I passed up on a young 8 point, and after calling for five mins decided to leave early. The coyote was briskly walking toward me as I left the stand. I saw him coming first, but he noticed some movement and paused. I guess since it was getting pretty dark he continued towards me. I quickly prepped my rifle right as he decided to circle to the left at 15 yds. I was aimed in when he paused to contemplate his error. The 280imp with accubonds left my right ear ringing as I heard the shot hit and whizz by after exiting. The photo with the rifle shows more guts hangin out cause I rolled the yote a couple of times.

OUCH!!!

dont have pictures but when the ground squirrels out at my uncles where the shots are fairly short start getting smart about the end of May i would break out my Marlin Guide Gun in 45-70 loaded with 405 grain hard cast and start holding on dirt my brother always called it cheating cause he didnt have one

my SMLE in 303 Brit, if yah hold for the middle, the fore quarters and head go in one direction, the rear quarters and tail go another and everything dead center gets vaporized when using deer bullets, been wanting to load up some soft points designed for the AK/SKS

My first coyote! taken with my new Rem 700 DG in 375 H&H. I guess instead of DG standing for dangerous game it could also mean "dog gone"!!

i need to get me a bigger gun.......

Here is a prairie dog shot with a .270 Model 70 with 24.5" barrel, 6X Leupold scope, 110 gr Sierra and 55 grs IMR 4350.

Doesn't look like you ruined much meat, how was he?

I used him as a decoy!

Dats usin' your noggin!!!

Yes..very nice photo! Nice job!!

Now, that's what I'd call "overkill" in full bloom..

Mostly, I've done my varminting with a .22-250. However, I've actually knocked off a pretty fair number of groundhogs with .270 using 110 grain V-Maxs. It launches them real good!

I've also gone on the groundhog warpath with my .35 Whelen firing 250 grain Hornadys. My best shot with that was when I slung up and laid prone to shoot one at 277 paces. It looked small through a 1.5-5x20 Leupold and I was holding high and into the wind but it worked perfectly well.

You guys are "kill'n" me! My wife and I went out on 11/18 to do a little calling, she with the .223 and I with my .375AI(my only big game rifle). We were primarily hunting dogs but as I'm still carrying a mountain lion license, I figured I'd bring something I could legally shoot a lion with. As luck would have it, the only coyote we called in came in on my side, hung up at about 150 yards, and offered me a frontal shot, which I took! And as luck would have it, we were in a hurry leaving home and forgot the camera. So the wife and I will have to try and do this again and maybe I can supply photographic evidence of a coyote taken with a .375AI with a 270 gr. Barnes X (I'm trying to burn up the last of my old style X's as I'm now shooting Triple Shocks). - memtb
