My new coyote hunting buddy

Nice... can't go wrong with a savage!

 

congrats, can't beat a Savage for out of box accuracy any where near the price range.

They are really nice,
Same one I got ,still havent sighted it in yet.

Let us know how she shoots.



Jim

 

Its a 1/9 twist so it will like the slightly heavier bullets, but its good for 55 to 68 grains

The 1/9 ARs I have owned liked the 62gr the best if I recall correctly

 

Hey SH,
You should be good,
I have shot 50 grn, 52 grn and 53 grn out of 1:9 twist, with good results.

My best accuracy has been with 55 grn,
Bhale is right about the 55-62 grn beingthe best with 1:9 twist.

But 50 gr up to 68 grn will do fine.

Im thinking of getting a .223 rifle with 1:7 twist to shoot 70 to 80 grn.


Jim

 

50 gr. is generally fine for the 1:9, my AR just LOVES 50 gr. Blitzkings...

Side note, heavier might be a little better though. The 60 gr. Hornady hollowpoint hits a little harder. Around here the coyotes seem to absorb hits from the .223 and keep going until they get into cover before they die. I actually prefer the 25/06 for dropping them on the spot, but the dogs are so skittish that running shots are the norm so ARs and Mini-14s get the nod over bolt guns.

 

Not bad, a little more tweekin,
it will be there,

unless the tree is swaying in the wind.:cheesy::cryinglaugh:


Jim

 

Good shootin,

Looks like every shot would be a kill.
