Love the show guys. It has quickly become my favorite podcast! I haven’t tried the new calibers, but for now 25-06 with 85 grain Nosler Balistic Tips is my favorite for open country thermal coyote hunting. I know most will bag on it because it’s super old school, perhaps overkill, and burns a lot of powder. However, if you don’t care about those things, it’s the same trajectory as 22-250 w/55gr and has equal energy at 400 yards as the 22-250 has at at 200 yards. Almost always eliminates runners and makes recovery a whole lot easier at night. Keep up the good work!
We appreciate it.
You will not beat the 204 ruger for 0-300 yard coyote shooting. 39 gr blitzkings are fantastic on fur as well.
I love my 6 arc as well it definitely has been my favorite in my semi auto. I've been running the 70 gr noslers
Keep up the great work guys! Your killing it
For 22-250 ar10 if you get Alex pro firearms 22-250 mag it functions flawlessly. It’s stupid expensive but I put a 250 together myself and ended up having to run it.
First of all I love this channel and the content. I do a lot of hog hunting in SW Georgia and do most of it with the AR platform simply because it’s the fastest lead injection tool for what I do. I’ve used basically every cartridge that fits the AR15 platform and for what I do the 6.5 Grendel running the 115gr Barnes ttsx is just a hammer. I have fewer hogs run off than anything else I’ve personally used and I have tried the 6mm ARC in 18” barrel and it just wasn’t as effective. If I’m hunting coyotes I run a Remington 700 youth model in 243 and I run the 87 gr bergers and have killed dogs out to 400. I do run them on the hotter side but it’s a screaming laser beam and the coyotes don’t run they just DRT. Thanks again for all the content
Awesome stuff
May be old school and not up to modern snuff but I love the 22 hornet
I love my 77 Ruger! Most accurate rifle I've ever shot and dropped plenty of dogs with no runners! If ur shooting 200 and in the hornet is nasty on yotes
I agree on the 223 comment of behind the shoulder, they’ll run. And yes, here on the east, I need them to drop. I’ve lost plenty of coyotes that had great hits but ran into the woods and couldn’t be recovered because it’s so thick. I’ve tried 88gr in my bolt 223 which worked great. 90gr in my 6.5CM also did great. But my go to is a 6ARC. 87gr VMAX goes over 2900fps with 18” PROOF and it crumbles them. Ultimately find what works for your application. Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of guys make recommendations based off what they think should work rather than seeing results in the field.
Agreed, thanks for watching.
Excellent
8.6 blackout changed all the standard ideas about twist rate.
Good stuff!!👍👊
Thanks for watching.
Couldnt agree more about your 223 comment!
Speaking on the 6mm Creedmoor I have the Springfield 2020 waypoint in their cheapest offering with the steel barrel and non adjustable stock. Its shooting the 87 grn vmax at 3/8" to 1/2 factory. Great gun and snacks coyotes with no remorse.
Any personal experience on lighter weight .243? I shoot 50 grain Nosler’s and can crank velocity’s and are super flat shooting. Southern Iowa we don’t have longer than 400 yard shooting
Great video! Currently running a 556 AR with 20 inch faxon Gunner barrel with 1 in 8 twist. What hornady bullet would you recommend for coyotes out to 250 yards?
Love my 6 arc just hate necking down 6.5 grendel brass and trimming.
I agree. And I had some slight issues with resizing the Grendel brass. I would recommend buying a case of factory ammo. ELDX 103s can be found for $30 a box. Then save all your brass to reload. It’s been working for me. Look up the BrassGoat for saving brass while out hunting with AR. I have never had a feeding issue from using this device. Hope this helps.
My 6ARC 16" 1/7.5 hates 105 blk. Likes 103eld. Doesn't seem to like 95 LRX. 80ttsx is next up to try, for hog, and dogs.
I have a custom 22-250 rem 700 action 1 in 8 criterion remage MTU contour. I shoot only 77 SMK under 1/8 inch groups.
Alex pro firearms 22-250 has been working in ar 10 platform
😮They never will kill the 22-250 and 243 at least for a long long time. I can push the 75gr bthp match from hornady in 22-250 to 3300 to 3350 fps and that is plenty good for whitetails and coyotes and also hogs. It is a hot load but it works great in my bergara 1in9 twist 22in barrel though.
Im looking to build a 6mm arc ar. Proof research barrel. 14.5 or 16 in. Do you guys have any suggestions for gas block/forends. I love skinny forends like geissele, but few gasblocks fit. Looks like adjustable gasblocks are recommended. I will be hand loading
Any advice helps
Have you thought anymore about doing a wildcat cartridge podcast???
My problem with all these “new” fangled cartridges are, for varmint guns; they’re slow. In my opinion there is no replacement for velocity within 400 yards. For just plain fun, and getting them job done. That 224 Valkyrie was a good idea, but it’s slowwww
Try the 22 nosler! Swapped from a 223 and wow what a difference it's made. Highly accurate and absolutely not one runner since I swapped. Ammo is scarce and expensive tho! What ammo isn't these days! Lol but ur right they are too slow especially if ur trying to hit a running coyote at 200 yards. At that point ur scope won't keep up with the leads you need to use at that range
Where do you hunt HOGS &/OR JAVELINAS HERE IN CALIFORNIA??! Does Anybody know??z!
I believe for 6 arc you can use grendel brass and 7.62x39 brass. Watched a guy make them multiple times
APF Alexander Profesional Firearms, had good luck with 22-250 AR's I believe.
I have an APF in 204 20” SS barrel 1/2” groups factory ammo all day long !
Good stuff Wade. On the 22-250 AR Platform, Specialized Dynamics (SD) has had great success with their builds. Only issue is they will tell you to not load more then 7 rds in a 10 rd magazine. Any more and it cause the magazine to bulge causing feeding issues.
Appreciate it.
I had nothing but problems with Specialized Dynamics 22.250 . Not to mention there customer service sucked ….
A buddy of mine at work is doing this exact build.
Shooting the 70 grain blitzkings from a .243 or a 6 creed makes little difference. They both shoot great. 3400ft/sec from a 20 in barrel
Have you shot 223 copper bullets at fur? I'm looking at 55 ttsx for hogs & dogs. I might run 55 ttsx on dogs.
We messed with solids a while back, wasn’t a fan .
@@txpredatorhuntingdid they wreck the fur or not put them down hard enough for you?
Franchi did one to
You can order a custom short 224 Valkyrie from Xcaliber barrels.
Got a Remington AR in 204 years ago 24” barrel 1:12. 32gr vmax smoked lots of animals in STX
I wish I’d bought that rifle at the time. At that actual time I thought it was over priced, maybe goofy looking, and didn’t trust a Remington AR or at least thought there was a lot better options. Turns out now, it would’ve been a good buy, damn good gun I’ve heard, and I wish I had that camo pattern 😂😂
@@stupiditypissesmeoff330 ran mine so much I wore off most of the original camo and ended up painting it. The only thing I had to change was the 8lb trigger it had.
What about 6 prc
What about 25-06 it’s accurate it’s blazing fast very flexible flat
Starline basic brass
17/222 35 degree shoulder t neck, Molly coated 30 HPBT, Macmillan stock, jewel trigger, 4.5-14 leupold scope, shoots less than 1/4 inch all day… deadly out to 450-500
Barrel: shilen
Want to predator hunt grab a 12 gauge with a factory full choke add a red dot and pattern it with #4 buck. A red dot on top will help you be precise! Higher the pellet count the better. Now grab a .223 in a 50 gr projectile(hollow pt) . 3x9 scope.
You should do a podcast where you just talk about all the great props you have on your set! Would love to hear some of the old calls as well as lights! This would make for some great content
We will put it on the list.
I put a coyote choke on my 870 , shooting 4 buck 44 pellet federal mags, went out and patterned it, idk if it’s choke and load combined, or if I’m just becoming a puss, but holy shitttt that bitch kicked, HARD. But man it patterned great out to 55-65 yards, and dumps them hard
Holy fucken RAMBLE !!!
