[QUOTE="Reemty J, post: 1884541, member: 113694"] I have a "lucky" long shot story, it was back in the 90's we were just south of the Canadian border hunting deer. At the time we were shooting 30-378's and did not know squat about long bullets or high BC's......but we thought we were smart. Anyway shooting a 180 grain Nosler ballistic tips @ 3400 fps.......we just worked a coulee and "no deer", so we were walking back to the pickup. It was dead calm and there was a coyote sitting on a coulee rim watching us......there was 4 of us and I said to one fellow, "I am going to try to hit that coyote"...........his comment was no fricking way. Keep in mind this load would only group 3 shots in 12" @ 1000 yards, I lay down prone, harris bi-pod, dial the gun up and wait for the coyote to stand up. It finally did and walked straight away, I barked at it, it turned broadside...sent one down range and when that 180 hit that coyote it just spun it around.....that fellow got P'oed and could not believe it...I knew it was very, very lucky shot.....1030 yards..... With this same load I once hit a coyote running straight away @ 400 yards and it just cart wheeled him.......large male, full of a deer gut pile and the bullet never exited.....fragile fragile. When I picked that coyote up by his back and shook him side to side it sounded like a 5 gallon can of soup. Have learned a lot in the last 30 years and now shoot 6.5 calibers with long high BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
