1 shot at 80 yards.

How do you lure them or get them to come close to you?

Thanks,
I'm trying out the 65 Grain Sierra Game King, going at about 2900 FPS.

Bullet passed completely through as expected, coyote was ded-rite-dere; entry hole is tiny, exit looks to be about the size of a looney.

I usually use 55 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips, but I keep thinking if ever a wolf were to show up I'd want something a bit heaver plus less frangible.
If the Sierras perform like this one, I will only use them; as the Noslers can really blow up a coyote if you hit the shoulder blade.
I do skin them, and the less I have to patch up the better.

Yes, this coyote was called in, took about 15 minutes.
I use Sceery mouth blown calls, I have never used the electronic ones.
also cammo is a must, them dogs aint blind.

Congrats. I have an earlier 10xp predator in .204ruger. Not the lightest rifles but they sure can shoot.

Nice looking rig. I have been wanting a predator hunter max 1 for a while. There was a 6.5 creed I slept on and missed. Good shootin!
