Getting prepped up for some coyote hunting in the next few weeks.

Did some reloading yesterday in preparation for some coyote hunting. I have been using the 140s the last few seasons but am thinking about going to the 120s or even 100s to get a little flatter shooting bullet with a bit less recoil.

I would give the 6.5 mm V-Max 95 gr bullets a try for shooting coyotes. When I could shoot lead bullets I had great results shooting the 75 gr V-Max bullets out of my 243 Win.

My only hesitation about going that light is the wind. I hunt where you can see for miles and it is always windy. I do take some longer shots (500+) and that light of bullet wouldn’t do well in the wind. I have considered the 100gr eld-VT but don’t know that I would go lighter than that.

The 95s were great out of my Creedmoor. I'm tinkering with a 6ARC this season but won't hesitate to go back to the 6.5 if it doesn't perform.
