First coyote with ..257 Weatherby and 100 grain E-Tip

[Jerry 919]

JD338,

First coyote with 100 grain E-Tip. Large female at 225 yards while she was on the run. Bullet hit just behind her left ear. Complete pass through. She ended up a little cross-eyed.

As you are aware the first actual kill was my chronograph shade support rod.

Everyone who shoots more than a few rounds will have nailed a Chrony at one time or another. Congratulations on the coyote.

how was expansion on the chrony?

 

[Jerry 919]

Total pass through. No recovery. Support rod was decidedly deceased.

Jerry,

I've shot two Chronys and three rods at one time or another. You know you have a problem when you have Shooting Chrony on your speed dial.

Consequently, part of my Nosler order came in this afternoon. I have three boxes each of 130 grain 270 calibre, 100 grain 257 calibre and 168 grain 308 calibre. So, during the coming weeks I'll be working up some loads. You are inspiring me to work with the Bob.

 

[JD338]

Jerry,

Congratulations on your first (and second) kill with the 257 100 gr E-Tip.
Good shooting my friend!

Finally was able to get the photo posted!

We have had nothing but rave reviews on the .30 cal. 168 E-Tip. Had one guy report a 3" inch group at 600 yards.

Congrats on your coyote! Glad the E-Tips worked out for you. Now I just need to try them in my rifle due to everyone using them. :twisted:

 

[FOTIS]

Nice doggy!

 

[nomosendero]

Thanks for the pic & the report! I find your comment on the 168 interesting as well, I guess I will have to check it out in my 308 & the 100 in my 25-06AI as well.

Concerning the chrono, I have sure learned to cover the front when shooting a MZ with sabots!! :shock:

My Chrony passed away while graphing 7.62x25 reloads offhand with a CZ-52.
RIP

It was so sudden. One moment he was there and pooff, he was gone. Sad really. Said a few meaningful words and then had to move on.

How do you like that sage country vanguard 257bee?I got one last spring and haven't harvested anything with it yet.I just got it back from weatherby last week.I put the scope back on it and remembered that I shoot all my ammo for it.Have to make some more.I took it to Twickenham back in Oct. and got skunked.I'll go back this fall and see if I can find a buck to test it on.

 

[Jerry 919]

Lechero,

I really like the Sage Country Weatherby. In order to get it to shoot great I had to free float the barrel, glass bed the action and give it a trigger job. Nice and light and handles well. Topped mine with a Leupold VX II 4-12X40 with fine duplex crosshairs.

There are some real dandy bucks in the Twickenham area. I have hunted Chukar up there and seen several 30" bucks and a couple nice bulls. The best areas are hard to get into and surrounded by private property. Study your maps.

I would not hesitate to shoot a deer or elk with the 100 grain E-Tip or the 110 grain AccuBond within reasonable range.

Look at IMR 7828 SSC and H1000 as powders.

Hey Jerry:

Read somewhere a shooter took a 5gal. white plastic bucket, cut out the bottom and placed his Chrony in it. Said it worked fine. I am going to try it if ever I shoot mine like you did yours.

Happy Shooting
