1st Kill With New Coyote Rifle

[tannerpid]

Awesome Dog.
Hoping to finally get out this year and test the Berger hand loads out on some coyotes, maybe get a few buck
Good Job again

Nice looking Doggie, the ones around me are riddled with Mange. Cant beat a savage for a Coyote rifle either, my favorite Coyote rifle/Set up was a Savage 25 Thumb hole Vented Beaver tail laminate Jobbie with a 8-24x40AO BSA Compensating scope, Harris Bi-Pod and my own concoction of .223 reloads. You could part the arse hair of a mosquito @400yards Cold bore. Not a day goes by that I don't regret selling that rifle.

Nice Yote wish there was opens fields like that here, I have to wait for the River to freeze up.I have a Sako varmint .223 had good luck with 60 gr Nosler ballistic tip over Benchmark.Good Luck.

Nice rifle, and nice coyote! My Savage 10 is an older "precision carbine" with a heavy 20" barrel, no fluting. I did own a Predator Max in .243 that I couldn't get to shoot nearly as well, turned-out to be a headspacing issue. Anyhow, always liked Savage 10s and the majority of my experience with them has been overwhelmingly positive. My .223 has rearranged more groundhogs than I could ever count, but has been coyote hunting a time or two as well. (no shot opportunities yet) My pet load in my 1:9" involves a 53gr. Hornady V-Max (thanks for that recommendation HTH!) but 55gr. V-Max shoots equally well. Believe it or not, I've even got the 35gr. NTX shooting better than 3/4 MOA...which is surprising for a fast twist barrel. Anyhow, I'd have no issues shooting a coyote with the 53gr. V-Max and if you'd like my load data, just PM me.

You’re welcome man. I’d still be shooting that if I still had a 223

CCI small rifle primers #400
Hornady case
25.5 grains of h335
Approx 2900 fps
I'm guessing velocity based on bullet drop at 350 yards.

I want to get into hunting coyote with a semi-automatic. Are there any semi-automatic rifles left out of the recent ban? I'm new to shooting and hunting, sorry if I'm being daft.

Very nice dog, thanks for sharing.

Shackleton, the 'Browning BAR' for a still legal semi-auto, there are others too.

Most coyotes will offer 1 shot, if you miss, the chance of getting them on the run is slim. When they realize they have been tricked, they leave in a hurry. Therefore, in my opinion anyway, I'd go for a accurate bolt gun over high fire rate.
