I have been using a .243 bolt gun for several years to coyote hunt but also used an AR 15. I purchased a new flat top upper from White Oak Armament and had only put 10 rounds through it to check the scope mounting job. ( I used Millet windage adjustable extra high AR bases and was dead on by bore sighting only
, but that is a post for a different forum)
So... I am driving to work this morning and see several coyotes working the waterways in the fields near my house. I call my nephew and tell him to get his 30-06 and go get some... He says he is out of bullets... So I tell him where my AR is and where my 75 grain HPBT Nosler match loads are.
About a half an hour later I get this picture on my cell phone.
He spot and stalked this little male in his blue jeans and a work coat to about 200 yards and initiated my rifle properly with a bang -flop shot.
I have been wondering how a match bullet would perform. He says the exit wound is about 5"
