Went coyote calling yesterday...
This one was killed at about 12 yards from where I was sitting as it trotted in.
Remington M 700 .22/250 using 50 grain Sierra Blitz King's.
Dr. Mike the javelina season I drew for is February 1st-March 1st. New Mexico also has a javelina season that is January 1st-31st,which I am going to put in for this spring. Almost all javelina tags are a draw with some OTC.
My wife with her very first deer. She killed it in Texas on Friday and she used a Winchester M 70 .243 Win and handloads using the 90 grain Sierra Gamechanger.
I killed a pig on Friday,also in Texas and I used a CZ 550 re-barreled to a wildcat .270 Ingwe using a handload using the 130 grain...
The load I have settled on turned out to thump my middle finger when shooting (the trigger guard is hitting the middle finger on my right hand.)
So, tried 73.0 & 74.0 grains of Var-Get and 78.0 grains of IMR 4451 with the 400 grain Woodleigh.
This is the 74.0 grain Var-Get load at 50 yards...
.338 RUM,.340 Wby,.358 NM,.375 H&H,.375 RUM,.404 Jeffery,.450 Howell,.460 Wby.
I use Sierra,Nosler,Swift A-Frame and Woodleigh Weldcore in the above cartridges.
