Another one of Wes' bullets found it's Mark... Kind of. 652 yard shot. Saw the hit, saw the death dance, saw the coyote tip over. When I got to the spot, the dog was gone... But he did a neat dance and left a bunch of fur. I'm sure he's dead somewhere. 22-243 Middlestead [emoji4]

What bullet did you end up with for that rifle? What velocity are you getting out of it?

I'm not done testing yet, but that load will do while I try other powders and such.

Cowcatcher, the 22-250 pictured is a 1:10 twist and 12.5" LOP if I am not mistaken.
You are getting a super fast rotational velocity from the bullet and it will come apart fast. Great for a fast kill and energy dump.
I came very close to buying one like yours and now wish I would have as they have been discontinued. The long bbl and longer LOP still isavailable and I just might end up with one of those or a Compact chambered in 6Creedmoor. --- SAWMAN
Why just dance when you can "rock and roll".

Called this fella in to 275 yards. Again, I was watching dogs way way out there and this one snuck up on me. Bullet preformed wonderfully, exit about the size of a 50 cent piece. Killed one earlier that was bad mangy, no photo of him. Easy 100 yard shot.

Thank you sir.
I will most likely end up with a Ruger American chambered in 6Creedmore just for its 1:7.7 twist. I really like that rate over the 243Win's typical 1:9.
Will buy another stock (Compact) from Ruger to drop it in.
Good hunting to you sir. --- SAWMAN
