Some pics from my last trip to the "Death Pit" for some load workup. Gettin' a little cold out there.http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab211/yukoncoyote/IMG_1091.jpg

How did you shoot?

So wait a sec, you can just drive out in the middle of nowhere and shoot as you please?

It looked a bit cold, nice rig, Death Pit looks like fun.

 

[yukoncoyote]

I managed to put 5 into just under an inch at a lased distance of 204 yards.
Using 175gr SMK's in Federal brass (once fired), 43grs Varget and Fed match primers. Still tweaking the charge a bit though.

Death pit is about a ten minute drive up the Alaska Hwy, I can go there anytime as long as it's light out. There is another pit about half an hour up the Hwy where I can stretch it out to about 600 yards if I wanna hike a bit. Love the Yukon!

Still lookin' for the magical 1000 though.

Looks like a great spot to shoot. Any pics of the other Pit with the 600yards? Nice rifle too!

No picks of the other pit, but may head out there tomorrow, if I do I'll take some more shots and hopefully a range report as well. Thanks for looking!

Wow, I wish I could just drive up to anywhere I wanted and shoot like that where I'm at...

That is a very good grouping for a field-capable rifle - do you/would you hunt with it?

 

[kelly2929]

great looking rig.

 

[BeerBaron]

Beautiful rig and a beautiful range. I'm jealous.

You should range the top of golden horn to gray mountain, gotta be close to 1000 yards?

I do take it hunting with me,but haven't had a chance at anything yet. Didn't go out much this year. Maybe next year.

I know a good spot out at Kusawa Lake, but you need a boat in the summer and a sled in the winter to get there. Could easily shoot 1000 plus. Gonna try it spring/summer 2010.

 

[beaverfur]

Ah yes friends of mine hunt sheep up in there, lots of room to shoot!! Neat to fish the lake trout in there as well, no need for a fish finder. I miss the Yukon.

 

[angrysoldier]

how did you get a timberwolf?? i thought pgw was out of buisness??

 

[dogzilla]

What's that white stuff?

 

[Rick65Cat]

We have a range here an hours drive outside of Edmonton that shoots out to 700 yrds. Best I've done is ringing the "steel gong" out at 400 yrds with my .204 and ringing the gong at 200 yrds with my 6" .44 magnum Taurus over open sights.

It's a Coyote in .308. PGWDTI is very much in business last time I checked.

I always said you are a good shot. FS

Isn't that how you do it? Oh wait, Montreal. My condolences on that, sorry. Move out west and enjoy the wide open spaces and no rabidly anti-gun provincial governments.

PGW better still be in buisness, my Coyote should be here any day now!
