non factory coyote calibers

[WKR]

25 Souper Ackley improved (25-08AI). Probably my next 1/4 bore.

Where did you get the reamer?

If Lapua doesnt make brass for it then dont bother.

If Berger doesnt make bullets for it then dont bother.

You've been watching and listening to way too much Cortina videos bud

204 Ruger, 22 Arc, 224 Valkyrie

All are techically factory although they aren't very well supported.

25-08AI is intriguing! I own a .25-06 and just bought a 7-08! So I'd have brass and bullets to share between them...

Another vote for 6x45. When you neck up you shorten and thin the neck so there is less trimming than a 223 in an AR. The 55gr bullets fly faster and farther than the same weight in 223 and out to 300 yards the poor ballistic coefficient is acceptable. 85 gr bullets can be run in standard AR mags and are legal in most states for deer. I have used 6x45 from shooting jack rabbits to white tail within 100 yards and been pleased.

6x45, stupid accurate, easy to load for, kills groundhogs, prairie dogs, coyotes, deer whatever you want. I’ve built several and won’t be without one.


Current rifle, Kimber Montana with Krieger 9 twist.


This is a 5 shot group at 400 yards with 87 Vmax!

Really? Then who makes better brass then Lapua?

I’m sure someone has one, but I’ve not come across it as a rental. If I do one, I’ll have to have one made. It mostly interests me because I’ve never come across one.

6mm AR Turbo 40 Improved, or 6mm Fat Rat. Predates the ARC, but it's basically an Ackley ARC. I use mine for 1000 yard competition; 105's at 2800, but I'm sure it'd rock lighter bullets as well.

Total custom, you'd have to get a reamer cut.

Thanks for all the suggestions fellas. Really looking at something in the 75gr-85gr running @ around 3,000 fps. Anyone every look into the 6mm MAXX?

6BR any of the variants would push that weight class comfortably at 3k without issue. Brass would last forever.

This is your answer. 75-90gr going 3000 any of the br variants will do that and more. Plus it will most likely be the easiest to load cartridge you own and stupid accurate.

6xc is my favorite but it's not really fur friendy so I am a 17 Hornet guy.

Tikka T3X 22-250 rechambered to 22 Creedmoor Iray Bolt 35 I love this gun

My favorite non factory coyote round is the 20 practical. My second favorite is the 6x45. I shoot them both in AR platforms but have considered a 20 practical in a bolt rifle. I have thousands of empty 223 cases and necking them up or down is simple. I also don't mind losing some out on the prairie since they're so easy to replace unlike some other non factory cartridges I shoot.

My .257 Ackley Improved with a 75 grain V-Max around 3500 fps is a lot of fun.

What distance and bullet are you using for those yotes? I considered the 40 VMAX for the 20 Practical.

I use a 30 cal. It makes them deader quicker
Or maybe it's just making them flip with their insides on the outside that I like. If I could stand The recoil I might use something bigger. But 125 grain hollow point at 3100 ft per second seems to be working. All coyotes and all hogs need shootin.
