skinney Director Registered: 12/21/09 Posts: 4159 Loc: South Dakota	Originally Posted By: borkon Those shots are just a small blip of the actual numbers you kill Skinney. Very easy to post the best. If I were to have filmed all of the 100's I've killed with my .17_.204, shooting Chan Nagels 30 grain bullets,and cherry picked what you did, people would think it's "magic ". And it is frontal and broadside ribcage shots. But lacks on quartering away/straight away shots. Bottom line, if you're gonna (need to) kill coyotes in every scenario that takes place in the fields, a V_Max bullet has shown to me, the very worst bullet other then the Barnes Varmint Grenade to do the job. I don't know how often your group shoots at runners as you don't show that much in your films but if you do it(and not show it),I'll guarantee it would show lots of " Not DRT's".! I'm sure you guys can afford better bullets. If not, I'll send you a couple boxes of Sierra #1365's to try. Regardless, we can all agree to disagree. I don't care what you use to stack bodies. I'm just here telling the original poster, don't be afraid of a VMax, we kill a helluva lot with them. _________________________ Learn to discipline yourself, so someone else doesn't have to.

Ermine Seasoned Member Registered: 12/19/07 Posts: 158 Loc: Colorado	I recently picked up a tikka 22-250 with an 8 twist barrel. Im thinking if using 50, 53, or 55 grain v max. I don’t need heavier as I have a 6 cm slinging 108 grain bullets if I want heavy.

Of those three it would be an easy choice for me, 53gr Vmax all day everyday. Edited by B23 (04/21/23 02:17 PM)
