sighting in the .17 Rem for 'yotes

I go with 1.75" high at 100 yards...this is a dead on hold out to about 275 for my load, I strongly recommend the 30 Berger HP, I use it with moly and Accurate 2700 which meters like water...and has not let me down even in -37F weather...for most fur hunters this is a super load, I think it would work for wolf although I usually use the swift with a 60 grain for them...
This is an excellent fox load as well, exits are small...most coyotes will have NO exit but will be homogenized on the inside..
Regards,
Yoteman

.17 sight in

I've taken over 800 coyotes here in Western Montana with my 17 Rem and with all my varmint rifles I sight in 2 to 2.2 inches high at midrange. I don't worry what my POI is although I take note of it. If a coyote is at midrange and you hold dead on, you'll hit slightly high in the coyote but kill him just as well. A 2" midrange is 1 5/8 " high at 100 yards. I shoot 25 grains of Varget and a 29 grain Genco or 30 grain Berger. Montana Mike
