243 58 grn V Max vs Yote

[sksavenger]

So, Deadmeat worked up some loads for my 243 with 58 grn v max bulletes. Did some shooting on his range yesterday and was very happy with the results. Velocity was right around 3700 and 5 shots under a inch by deadmeat. just a hair over an inch by me ( had one flyer)
Anyhoo.... Went out with the foxpro to try them on yotes this afternoon and set up in a rockpile with the call about 75 yards out and after about 5 minutes had this one coming in from way across the field. It was coming straight at the call from upwind but started to make its circle out at 150 yards. It stopped to have a look around and I tested the V max for fur damage. And fur damage there was !

It was dead when it hit the ground though

Looks great. If the 58g are doing that I cannot wait to see what the 87g Vmax is going to do in my 243.

oh i think you could stich it up not a problem

How do you think the 58gr Vmax would do out of a 1 in 8 twist 6mm Rem? Accurate or no?

I am not sure. I do know that my Savage has a 1 in 9.25 twist

 

[jongun]

Holy smokes! Definitely a humane kill

 

[Superbrad]

LOL... did you fire a cheesegrater at it?.... yikes... hey, it didn't suffer... good work...

 

[the spank]

GEEZUS!!!!!!!! You could turn the head sideways and fit in that hole!! Nice shooting!

Thats actually a nice looking hide on that coyote... worth cleaning up and with a small sewing job, should fetch a decent price if you care to do it up.

 

[gtrussell]

Looks like a job.

The 58grn work wonders on ground hogs in the spring to

Looks are deceiving.

I've posted this pic several times, people are probably getting sick of seeing it already....75gr V-Max out of my 257 Rob AI.

 

[Brucecounty]

no not getting sick of it yet , but the thing that makes me sick about it is every time i see it the more i want a .257

I used to shoot those out of a 6mm rem. I forgot what the twist was but could shoot .75moa anyday. But they were hell on coyotes,fun on gophers.

 

[snomad]

That's what I worked up for my 243 as well. Running about 3750fps.

Kinda looks like what my old 7mm RemMag did to coyotes loaded to the gills with 120gr hollowpoints!!!! Nice shootin!!!
