Mounted the Vortex 4-16x44 LR in some Talley mediums(shoulda went with lows, will probably swap em out). Now I just have to work up some loads. It looks like I will be able to mag feed 70 gr. VLDs, and I have some 53gr Vmax to burn up as well. Hopefully get out Wednesday to run it. Definetly need a new stock, as the Hogue is horrible(love the feel, but it's like a noodle). Thanks everyone for their replies,! your model 700 has a twist fast enought to stabalize a 70 grain bullet?? i am a sako /remington guy; but savage makes a 22-250 ( lrpv) with a fast twist and they have won a lot of matches out to 600 yards. you do not say where you are shooting /hunting coyotes.

Likely will shoot the 53 grn Vmax for yotes anyway and run the 70 grn Bergers for long range steel. I'll shoot 50 dogs at less than 300 yards for every one I'd shoot at 400+, so I'm not loosing any sleep over it.

I shoot 30-50 per year mostly with 70gr BT or 75gr V-max from a 6mm and 243 and seldom have an exit wound. My favorite yote load currently is a 70gr BT from my custom 6mm over a max load of Superformance. Velocity averages 3924fps for excellent knockdown, no exits, and no worry about holdover inside 350yds. Is 39...24 a typo?

So I wouldn't get to jeaulous until they actually have shot a coyote at under 350 yd with bullets going 3900+ ft/sec. They are near fragmentation point when they leave the barrel. I blew up a few 6.5 SMK on shoulder shot coyotes under 200 yds. They were travelling between 3100-3200 ft/sec. Never chronographed them in weather less than zero to see for sure. It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

Actually won the MOA field shoot this past year with it with shots taken out to 450. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a dog under ideal conditions to 600 with this rig. 22-250/8T McGowen/80 A-Max @ 2850/3.5-15 NF--

I'm thinking I should start seeing enough throat erosion after this batch to justify a re-barrel of the old Cooper 22-250. New barrel will be a fast twist 22-250 shooting the heavy bullets. I've been having such great success with the Berger VLD's in a couple of other rifles this year I am considering going to another 243 just to use those bullets. Serious long range bullet there.
