I paid $389 for my 12FV....but, I would not want to walk around with it.

Not looking to bash you or Remington but your close to the answer.
You bought a walk around coyote gun and want it to be a varminter Heres a glimpse into the future from a guy who's never even seen a praire dog. Your boys gonna go absolutely nuts waiting for that "pencil barrel" to cool while them rodents go scurrying around.

What type of hanloads did you try? Particulars needed.
