I have a sorta unique set up for shooting coyotes. All of my shots start at 300 yds and go on out to 525.
Reason being that is the distance to the far side of the lake. So we are only hunting them in winter over the ice. They always appear from the far side and approach the bait with extreame caution watching for ANY movement from our home. So they have to commit to the 250 stroll out from the woods over open lake . The wind is normally NW from 10/30 kts and is almost a direct 90 degrees to the bait.
So for years we have shot them with a 25/06 and 90 BK bullets. The standard
22/250 with 55gr bullets with BC down around 250 just wont cut it under these conditions. However this .224 Clark with modern BC double the old 55gr stuff would probably get it done in these howling crosswinds? The NEW 8 twist crowd shooting all these NEW bullets are really simply resurrecting the OLD .224 Clark!!![emoji6]
