I'm about halfway through my first box of Berger 25gr. HPs. My first group last Saturday at the range was .260" (5 at 100yds.) I shot it with Varget 23.0grs. with my Remington 700BDL. I have several .4" groups before that. Unfortunately I only seem to get one good group per trip to the range. The rest tend to open up to about 1". The rifle is not much for consistency, but I like it. It'll sure make a shooter humble. Best wishes.

UK Foxman...you listen to Mr. Eddy...he is "the man" when it comes to killin' critters (as in coyotes)!!! He has a website, a video out on fur prep, and some handy little items that are of interest that aren't sold commercially.

I've taken around 1000 coyotes over the years with Berger 30's and they are the "cat's meow"! And they're good on coyotes out to as far as you will likely shoot. Blaine's taken them farther than me, mine being a paultry 377 yards (but many between 320 and 360). My barrel's a 26 inch tube with a 9.5 twist and will stablize both 25 and 30s. I've used Varget for years, but at Blaine's urging, tried this summer (testing) R-15. Varget put me at 3950, but the Reloder powder sizzles at 4075 at the muzzle!
