Since I have heard nothing except Stellar reports about this bullet on Coyotes for years, I decided
to try them from my T/C Compass with its 1/12 twist that is NOT soposed to be able to stabilize this bullet??? The box says right on it 1/10 twist or faster
So just for fun I loaded up some ontop of 40grs of 414 and sent a couple over the chronograph and it said 3385 fps. So thought that would be a nice combo for Yotes, IF could ever get them to shoot?
Just got back from the range here is the results at 18 degrees with a 15 kt wind right in my face. Shooting off A very rickety old table ........ from 200 yds back from target....
Regardless of what the twist charts say I am pretty sure I can live with this!!! Also have no doubt with some tuning and bit nicer conditions can probably get that down to MOA at 200yds.
Guess it pays to try em !
