I'm thinking that it makes sense just to sub them for bear or raccoon in recipes.

These are recipes that you have tried? I performed a search and came up with the same results.

Yes, you read that right: coyote RECIPES. We have an abundance of them locally (and fox as well, for that matter), they pester and kill our livestock, and this evening over dinner my wife told me that any coyote that I shoot ought to be butchered and consumed by us. Now keep this in mind: we...

Noted, thank you :)

Credit card payment okay, as is postal money order. $1,300, or make me a reasonable offer. Tikka T3, chambered in .270 Win, currently wearing a McMillan A5 stock in black marble color (molded in). Stock features full aluminum block, as well as Picatinny rail beneath forearm for mounting...

~3,000 fps, but it really doesn't matter if it's slower or faster. If the MV is nearly the same from both, then the trajectory will similarly be very nearly the same. I ought to be able to figure that out using QL, within a reasonable margin of error.

Tom - I will begin with the 162-grain Hornady ELD. The BC is ~equivalent to the 143-grain ELD-X in .264. I should be able to match the MV from the .284 to that from my 6.5x55 AI, giving me nearly identical trajectory. Just makes things more interesting. I haven't given much thought to the...

Thank you very much for your reply; it is extremely useful information. I had already planned on using the Norma brass from Bullets.com, and was looking at the range of die sets that they offer but could see no clear choice. The second Redding option that you mentioned is likely the one that I...

Anyone with experience reloading standard .284 Win for one rifle: would you please give me your thoughts on dies? Good points? Bad? Not planning on taking this past 1K yds. Looking for a balance of performance and cost. Expect to be loading with quality components. I should mention...

I don't have QL at present; it's on my list of "necessities" for purchase over the next month or so, so can't run the numbers for you at present. Loads that I have seen published online for the .260 Rem AI tend to reflect the use of a longer barrel than you are considering; generally, it seems...

FWIW, a 24" bbl standard .260 Rem can send a 140-grain projectile at a MV of ≥2,750 fps; in my neck of the woods, at 900' elevation, that projectile (ELD) remains supersonic until it passes ~1,500 yds (at 65F). I doubt that it would be much less with the shorter barrel that you are considering...

Anyone shooting a .243 Win with a 9.25" ROT: could you please post the longest/heaviest projectiles that you have had best accuracy with? I have referenced the Berger twist rate calculator, however have seen people using projectiles that achieve only mid-marginal stability (according to the...

Many thanks for the continued suggestions. The rifles are used for a combination of hunting and informal target shooting. Like anyone, I'm looking to load for the best overall accuracy with projectiles that will quickly and ethically take down game, regardless of which rifle I'm using at the...

I'm actually looking at this set, which includes a bushing die: Redding Type S Match Bushing 3-Die Neck Sizer Set 6.5x55mm Swedish

All, I'm getting into reloading for various 6.5x55 and probably .260 Remington (since there is practically no factory ammo to be had anywhere, and what does exist is extremely pricey). Multiple rifles. The question that would like to pose is if someone can comment on which of the following...
