Shot the New Coyote Gun Today

[Scogin]

Shot her for the first time today. Bought the gun from a member here and put the scope and bipod on it last night. It was freakin cold. She is definitely more accurate than I am . Shot this group with 75gr Hornady Tap from a bipod at 100 yards.

I think she will do.

I haven't looked at the expansion info for the TAP ammo but does anyone know if this stuff is good for hunting?
Also how do you measure the size of the pattern? From the two furthest outer edges or the center of the two furthest shots?

center to center. Easiest way it to measure outside edge to outside edge and then subtract the bullet diameter.

Awesome. Measured it out and it is just under .75". Can't wait to start loading my own and see what I can get with it.

Good handloads will probably cut those groups in half. [Awesom]

Nice shooting and you have to be pretty happy with those results out of factory ammo. Like Ray said, measure center to center and hand loads should tighten that group up once you find that magic recipe that your gun likes the best.
