just bought a 700 bdl .17 rem. thought with fur prices i may as well try to keep them intact. arter work today, i stopped by a grove of tree's to do some load testing. after shooting, a coyote busted out and was fulling FULL TILT quartering away. missed it at about 150. took my time and drilled it at 314 right in the back of the head. FAST SOMEBITHCH :D . after talking with Tim A., i think i'm gonna like it :D . hell Tim... i might even break out the lotion and paper towels :mrgreen:
