I appreciate your help. I am really itching to get after some coyotes...and ducks, deer, pheasants. Its always something!

I do have the original set trigger on that gun. I wonder if it was poor shooting on my part. I can make a lot of excuses but the gun will always out shoot the human operator. I hate to be this close to really having something special and not having the time to work on it. I may have to hunt with it,...

Brand new Hornady brass. Primer is CCI. I just went and did this. I don't know if it was me or the gun. I did move the OCL down .10 to 2.240 At first I thought this is great! then got the flyer...twice.

Thanks for the ideas.

Looks like a good start. If those are 100yrd hits, remember they will double/opening up that size at 200. (MOA) Surely by working up and down a few tenths of a grain and seating the bullet at various depths, you can get groups to pull together and start touching each other. :) couple of examples of...

Not like that! I did plenty of research and decided to try some 35 gr Berger bullets, pushed by 28Gr of 8208XBR. OCL 2.250 I cleaned the gun REAL good, and shot 3 fouling shots at the orange dot. I knew I was on to something- Then I fired a 3 shot group. That made me happy...but was it going to be c...

yep thats the next step. And those bullets are still available

Bill K maybe, but I have also seen some pictures of some nasty shots. Who knows? Anyway I actually had lunch one time with the Hogdons boys and told them about my love affair with 8208XBR. I should add I am an experienced handloader with no experience using Berger bullets...

The 39 grn BK's are a great bullet in most rifles (20 cal) with a 1/12 or faster twist. Way better than the 40 grn. You will be happy with them. I do prefer the 32 grn and my rifle's shoot them the best, overall. But is you want a little better woomp.. 39's will do it. Good start on the grouping. M...

I am sorry to say 39Gr SBK are very hard to find right now. Next up will be 35gr Berger which are easier to find... any load suggestions? I know there is lots written on this forum but was hoping someone has a pet load...

I have toured the Sierra factory and was impressed with them. They were nice folks. I have killed a lot of coyotes with the 52gr Match King out of a .22-250 rifle, so I have some history. I was also attracted to the high BC of the 39 gr SBK. One thing I noticed right away was the extra 'punch' it se...

Tonight was a good night for shooting. I have a very accurate load for this gun using 32 gr Hornady vmax bullets. But I have read some unfavorable reports about their performance on Coyotes. I have always been a fan of Sierra bullets so I loaded up some 39gr Blitzkings pushed by 25 grns of Benchmark...

Thanks

I have a nice one that I am getting ready to sell. CZ 527 American with a VX2 scope on it and a lot of new brass.

I am waiting for my farm road to dry out so I can go test some 39gr SBK I have loaded up. 25 Gr of Benchmark. we will see....
