What was your load? I have those bullets. My new 22 CM with its 26" pipe 8"-twist wants to shoot those.Shot a couple coyotes with them and my wife shot a doe a 420 yards.

Curious because they are supposed to open up so fast, but is the bigger hole entry or exit?Shot a couple coyotes with them and my wife shot a doe a 420 yards.

Lack of fur saving or lack of killing?Bigger hole on exit, I stopped using them they didn’t preform the way I wanted on coyotes.
Lack of fur saving or lack of killing?
Did they splash on impact and simply not penetrate? I was planning on running them in an 18” 22-250 for coyotes at around 3300 or so.Lack of killing, 4 out of 5 coyote in 1 night needed a second round or ran off. I hunt alot of contests and need DRT
This is a 20" barrel & it was 1 hole at 80y. That is all I can shoot at the house. I'll be at the Club on Sunday and be able to test them at 200.What length barrel and how was the accuracy. I just ordered 500 of these to try in my 26” 223 and my new 16” 22br
That's not super surprising. These are much longer that your typical 62 grain bullet and length is a huge factor in stability in relation to twist.I have a 22 ARC with fast twist barrel coming....
In the meantime, I tried the 62's in my 9 twist 20" Bergara 22-250, and the results were not pretty. If I remember, it was like 34 grains of Varget and .050 Jump....that's all I've tried so far.
The results surprised me as this rifle shoots bullets 53 grains on up to 60's very good.
I just wish I could find some 8208 and power pro varmint.
I’m convinced benchmark is xbr fwiw. It’s so close in my rifles. It looks the same, it smells the same, it runs the same charges or roughly atleast.My 223 bolt gun has a 26 inch 7.7 twist barrel. I'm loading the 62 ELD-VT at 2.417. I'll be getting to the range Thursday of next week. These are loaded with some left over BLC2. I have some benchmark, LVR and CFE223 to try as well.

I hope you are right. Bencmark is on the short list of stuff you can actually find. Not real often, but you can find it.I’m convinced benchmark is xbr fwiw. It’s so close in my rifles. It looks the same, it smells the same, it runs the same charges or roughly atleast.
I’m running mine at the same die setting as my 75 ELDM load and it rifes the same base to ogive measurement too. It puts the end of the bearing surface right above the neck/shoulder junction but I don’t red all how far off the lands they are.What is the distance from lands for your load? I tried from .020 off - .040 in a gas gun and nothing great happened. I think they may like being close or in the lands.
That’s no good with a 22 Creedmoor… it’s just too fast. I think flying in there and just probably splashed damage on these coyotes… no animal should suffer.Lack of killing, 4 out of 5 coyote in 1 night needed a second round or ran off. I hunt alot of contests and need DRT

If someone wants to tell me about how coyote eat some calf or eat some deer…you’ve been a slaughterhouse lately?
Humans do some of the most cruel sons a bitch things I’ve ever witnessed…. Nothing more than being cruel. Not even remotely close to a coyote does so it doesn’t starve to death..
Not saying, I’m judging anybody here I’m just saying people need to take a different look at things sometimes
I Don’t expect to change anybody’s opinion…about coyotes.
I haven’t bought any 62’s yet. Can a guy load them @ a COAL of 2.26” and keep the price above the case mouth?
