I shot a water jug today at 200 yards. I was shooting the 1/2 gallon Sunny D bottles. I hit right where I aimed at 200 yards (even in the windy conditions of 10 MPH). I hit the one at 300 yards too, but I hit just above thewater line, so it didn't explode like the one at 200 did. I am not sure which shot it was that hit it either, but have an idea, and would put my .223 load with a 45 grain Speer bullet about 6" low at 300 yards. Any coyote I encounter should be toast
