I have a Winchester Coyote in .223 WSSM, Love the rifle but not real wild about the cartridge, and I am starting to think that the barrel is having issues just will not group anymore. Also I have an AR that shoots sub MOA that is pure death on any coyote within 300 yards and on a calm day out a...

I have a Winchester Coyote in .223 WSSM it was used but lightly when I got. I love the rifle but the .223 WSSM is not a round that I have don't have a lot of need for and I have a hell of a time getting it to group and it gets tougher and tougher. Even thought there has not been a lot of...

Just got back from a little hunting with my wife always a good time. First had I been horn hunting I should not have cooked butterfly steaks last night from Betsy's deer. They were so good and I am very picky about my meat. Anyway I shot a porky little forky that was missing a horn. A twin...

Ok since we had so much fun with the you shot one where, what about rituals? You know the silly little superstitions we have or those little initiations to those getting their first kills. Here are my family's This is more from my college days but the first kill of a species we alwasys...

I was just notified that there will be a press conference in Kalsipell at 5:30 this afternoon (Thursday Nov 4th). The subject is that two hunters retreiving an elk were attacked by a pack of wolves. One of the hunters was injuried when the horses panicked. From the limited information that I...

We all do things that when we look back on the event we question "what was I thinking" Beings there seems to be a bad outbreak of elk fever I thought that maybe a little reflection might help with the symptoms. Here is the question- What was the most difficult place you have ever shot a...

Packing for a family hunting trip tomarrow, me, my wife, 6 and 9 year old boys, and my mom and dad. Only about 40 miles from the house both species of buck deer, brow tine bull elk, and black bear are fair game. Also Mountain grouse and the boys really go after snowshoe rabbits. Great fun...

I had a very pleasant suprise with my new AR. Thanks to some low life that broke into our house, I had my previous Match grade AR stolen. The match grade Armalites were out of stock so I settled on a plain flattop model with a 20 Hbar. The rifle was listed as 1.5 to 2 MOA, ok for my primary...

Well I guess that my rifle has desided that it likes 180 grain partitions. I don't spend much time shooting from a bench and my bench rest is a cheap plastic unit. Here is the load 180 grain partition, Winchester cases, Fed 210 primers, RL 22 60 grains, OAL 3.325. 100 yards wind light right...

Ahhh I just had my second Millett scope go south. This one is a TRS-1 4-16 illuminated tac scope and was sent to me as a replacement for another Millett scope. I was impressed as this scope appeared to be of much higher quality. I mounted it on a Winchester Coyote in 223 WSSM. I was very...

While we are wishing what about a 22 cal. Accubond say 55 or 60 grains. What a pelt hunters dream; Some day when when we get the wolves off the Endangerd Species List, a 55 grainer in the 223 WSSM, 220 Swift, 22-250 would be hard to beat in a calling situation.

Has anyone out there used 60 grain partitions in the .223 WSSM. I have a Winchester Coyote that shoots 55 grain Ballistic Tips or Blitz Kings (Sports and Western didn't have any Ballistic tips that day)extremly well. The problem is that if the bullet hits a bone on a coyote it looks like they...

I recently bought a new Winchester Exteme Weather in 30-06 to replace my old rifle that was stolen this summer. It shoots the reloads suprising well that were for my old rifle. Because it was a new rifle I thought that it was a chance to try the new E-tips. I bought a box of 180 grains. When...

I just aquired a Winchester Model 88 in .358 Win. from my wife's uncle who because of health problems has limited his hunting. The rifle came with the stipulation that it had to be hunted with at least occationally. I plan on using it in the thick timber primarly for elk and black bear. I...

I have an Armalite match grade rifle that love the 69 grain HPBTs. It makes me look very good in that I am thumping coyotes on a regular basis. As of yet they haven't gotten a single calf this calving season. The issue becomes that the bullet is testing my sewing abilties (large holes in the...

Please pardon my ignorance but I can't find directions on how to taper-crimp. The lab comments indicate that for a semi-auto this may have to be done. I thought maybe it was a special set of dies but when I looked at our local sporting goods store I didn't see any specifications indicating...

I just purchased an Armalite M15A4 with a 20" match barrel having a 1:8 twist. I bought the rifle specifically to control coyotes. My question is can I use the 40-55 grian ballistic tips or do I have to use the 68-80 grain bullets? :roll:
