Definitely "MOC" (Minute of Coyote).
Went out to the steel range today and sighted it in. Zeroed at 150 yds. Once I got it zeroed, went 8 for 8 on a 4" square at 260yds with my 69SMK load for my other AR. These are sub-MOA in my 24". Probably just over MOA in this "pistol".
69 SMK @ 2455fps from an 11.5". I wasn't sure what to expect for speeds. My 24" pushes this load at 3033fps. So 575fps loss with 12.5" less barrel length. About 46fps per 1".
Then I tried my 50gr VMax varmint load. Not quite as accurate, but definitely coyote killers at 260yds. I was about 60% hits on the 4", and the misses seemed just off plate per the dust. Maybe 2MOA? These shoot 3300 in my 24" into about 1MOA. Averaged 2880 (2870-2895). 33fps per 1" barrel loss.
Ripping 20 rounds off in about 60-70 seconds sure heats that suppressor up!
Running those speeds, the 50 Vmaxs are way flatter shooting. And to maintain 1800fps minimum actually extend the distance out just a bit. So I am thinking I will probably run the 50 VMax loads for coyotes out to 300-350 max. Good thing is I already have about 3k rounds loaded up with them.
Don't know why the pictures didn't work...
Bolt gun is 25-06 shooting 80gr ttsx at 3650fps. Hold on hair out to 400yds. Not much time to dial between salt wash's and mesquite trees out here. Athlon 4-20 that is one of my favorite cheap scopes on top.
AR is a conglomeration of parts with the main one being a White Oak DMR barrel and bolt and CMC 2lb single stage trigger. 10rnd groups with AAC 77gr otm are .5-.6moa. 2760fps and $12.99 a box. You can shoot out a bullseye with a 20rnd mag pretty quick and easy.

Here's 3 of my coyote rifles. 1st 2 pics of a model 70 that I made into a 25 creedmore.
2nd is a win m94 made in 1903 chambered in 25-35 that I restored.
And Third is a AR-15 that I put together and painted with the snake skin camo.

My newest addition to my calling rifles. I always wanted a 17rem so I had this one put together.

Oh my gosh using a circa 1903 Winchester lever gun quarter bore as a serious coyote rifle is the most awesome thing I've read on this site this week!
Hahaha thanks. Unfortunately I haven't actually shot a coyote with it yet. My eyes are not as good as they once we're. I can't see the front post unless it's reflecting light or have glasses on and then I can't see what I'm shooting at
