2020 coyote killing counter

[mom45]

Hubby is shopping for a thermal scope....again...with his stimulus money, which will not be enough....and we haven't been seeing any on the cameras for a few weeks now.

That is one he has looked at. How do you feel about that one compared to a Pulsar product? He's been doing a lot of research on the pulsar scopes.

Pulsar has been slipping lately. First, a lot of people are complaining about POI shifts with weather changes. Second, they use proprietary batteries that are expensive and don't last very long. Third, they charge a lot for bells and whistles (on board recording) that I don't think is worth the premium.

I will pass along your comments tomorrow since he's already asleep.

You guys have been awful quiet in this thread for a couple weeks.
You aren't social distancing from yotes now are you ?

Too much going on right now. Work is crazy and the honey-do list isn't getting any shorter.

The hogster is a lot of thermal scope for the $. I bought the 25. You can program 4 different rifles in it at the return to zero when going from rifle to rifle is spot on. They do well with humidity. I'm thinking about another to use as a scanner, I have a pulsar scanner and the hog blows it away.

To be honest, it's hard to rock them to sleep. They typically need a little help via medication. A 50 grain sleeping pill administered at 4k FPS always works.

Those injections work well. Keep up the good work!

I use a 22-250 quit a bit, but I don't think it quit gets to 4K with the 55s I use... probably pretty close. I was thinking more a long the lines of a 50-58 grain bullet from a 243.

I knew .55s could be driven that fast out of a .243. Never tried anything lighter. Couldn't find any lighter bullets in 6mm and load data was tough to find too. That's why I guessed 22/250.

I have at least 4 of those powders that will go over 4000. Problem is, my Creedmoor is a 6.5.

 

[Rookie]

My mistake, I thought you meant 6mm Creedmoor. That's why I gave up on 6.5 creedmoor for coyotes, I couldn't get a bullet that was light enough.

Think I'm gonna stick with the 77 gr in my .223 when I get the opportunity to go. Confident in the accuracy of the rifle.
