I had a chance to get into the re-laoding room this afternoon
and work up a new recipe for the coyotes. The results were
great groups at 100 yards. Ingredients: 38gr. of Winchester
760...Sierra Varminter 40gr. hollow points...Winchester brass,
and CCi Primers. The ole 22-250 ate them up.... ;D ;D I may try
39gr. of 760 tomorrow..... ;)

Loaded 270's, 130gr ballistic tips for years. Don't remember the
formula but it shot tighter groups than anything else I tried.
Gets down range pretty fast too. Killed a lot of ghogs, coyotes,
and deer launching them out of a pre 64 Mod 70 Winchester. Keep
playing with it Yotes, it came highly recomended from some
reloaders years ago. You might find THAT magic bullet. ;D

I like it so far...and that's the beauty of
re-loading....finding what "your" gun wants. I will keep you
posted.

Thats one of the great things about reloading, being able to
tailer the loads to your gun. Some guys get lucky and find a
factory load that'll give them 1 inch groups at 100 yds but your
tied into that load. If you reload you can extract the tightest
groups possible by trying different things at the bench. That to
me is fun.

I spent over two hours in the reloading room yesterday working
up some new rounds. Tinkering with some H4895 and Win. 760
using 53gr. V-Max and CCI primers. This 760 powder is very
versitile. According to the book...you can load a 40gr. and a
53gr. bullet with 38grs. powder. That's a big swing. With the
H4895 you need to step back to 36gr. of powder for the 53gr.
Can't wait to sling some lead to see what I got. Dang rain kept
me inside most of the day yesterday.

Used WW760 for PDs one year. Load shot very well but when I got
to MT and 100 degree weather experienced quite heavy bolt lift.
WW760 is a tempature sensitive powder. Just a warning.

Yeah....I think I will have all I have loaded...about 100...all
shot before hot weather hits in the spring. That's the plan
anyway. A bud of mine gave me a pound of 760...just as well
burn it. Like it so far. Thanks for the heads-up.

I use Varget for the .22-250, handles high temps very well. I
started with H380 but soon found it does not take high temps
well at all, it'll drive you nuts in hot weather but shoots
great in cool temps.
