40 grain Ballistic Tips vs. Yotes

I hear a lot of good things about 35 bergers on yotes at least as far as minimal pelt damage. I have heard a mix of good and bad reviews on 39 blitzkings on yotes as far as knock down and pelt damage. I have heard very little as to the effect of 40 b-tips on coyotes. I would like to hear from you yo...

Re: Ruger Hawkeye in 223 cal

Torque specs:
darn tight on the front guard screw under the recoil lug
Tight on the other two

My torque range goes from lowest to highest: snug, nice and tight, tight, darn tight.

Re: 2008 plans?

Alcoco- Do you own a 2K yard rangefinder? What will you do if the elk is 617 yards away? Will your loads shoot the same POI and velocity in the fall as they do in the summer? Will you shoot your buckets at the same elevation, humidity, and temperature? What if the elk is moving and there is a 15 mph...

Re: Ruger 77 VT in 204 ruger w/scope $$950.00 shipped(WA)SPF

CoyoteWallace probably has a good load for this gun. I had the same model rifle and it did well with 32 V-max and 27.0 grains of H322 with Fed 205M primers.

Re: Looong Silverfox ADC Outing on 4-7-2008--Lots of pics--Part

Thanks for sharing your hunt and pictures with me Silverfox. Awesome! It was fun reading about your hunt on this snowy miserable day in Colorado. Well, I guess it's a good time to load up some 6.5x55s and get ready to hunt yotes soon as the weather cooperates. Great story, looking forward to the next!

Re: new to reloading the 204 question

If I were to try Accurate powder in the 204 I would start with 2230. Powders that work well for me of the ones I've tested are H322, H4895, and H335.

Someone should buy this. If I didn't already have a favorite Browning I'd be all over it.

Re: Dogtown bullets

Not sure if Winchester 34 grain factory ammo is using the same bullets, but that was by far the wost shooting ammo I tried in my CZ. Then again, I only tried them because I took my CZ back home to Michigan w/ me and wanted to hunt coyotes one day but didn't have any reloads with me.
