Hi AWS, I use loading manuals for only reference. I like Ken Water's "Pet Loads" much better. The only problem with "Pet Loads" is it's dated. I start with known accurate powder. I'll begin a few grains below max & examine

Just an FYI. A direct mount will always be more stable than a vice like mount that squeezes the side's of the stock. Whether or not you need that added stability is up to you and your situation. Just my opinion. DoubleUp and I must have been typeing

The ARCA swiss adapter plate bypasses the CRETAC mount and Picatinny and attaches directly to the underside of the forearm. It costs about $50. Personally the Pig Saddle while very sturdy is also pretty heavy and takes away from the advantage of th

My goto bullet in the 222 Rem for coyotes is the 52gr Speer FB HP Varminter, for me it puts down coyotes with little pelt damage, 748, 4320 and Benchmark have worked, load data abounds in loading manuals and there should be little difficulty finding

Old thread but good one I come back later that day or another day if alone. If I'm with a friend sometimes one guy can get out quick and hide and the other can drive off. After 10 minutes or so the guy that stayed can sometimes call the bumped coy

At that range 4. I zero my rifles for a max rise of 2.8" at mid range and hold a bit low like that unless I'm sure the coyote is past 200 yards, then I hold 5. With the 204 and a 40gr V max at 3900 I'll deliberately slip the bullet back maybe

If you are wanting a custom, save your money a tad longer and get a Borden. Not all "custom" actions are machined true, meaning that they will need to be trued...shocked? Looks and price can be deceiving. Buying what is popular...well...

That 45gr Hornady from the 204 doesn't do great in the wind, but it has sure stomped a lot of coyotes for me. I have taken some pretty bad angles and broke some bones along the way too. My bolt gun loves that load and the 40gr V max at 3900fps in t

That X1A3 is what I used for a while and it works well. My giant FoxPro Prairie Blaster 3 takes up the whole bag though so I switched to a Team Elk that has room for a puffy jacket and my Mojo Critter decoy. The optics pockets on the outside fit my

I have loaded the 222 for around 30 years. I have settled on Sierra 40 grain Ballistic Tips and H4198 with a CCI 450 primer. Other combinations will surely work well also, it is an easy cartridge to load, Good luck.
