I've been working up a Coyote load for my Rem 700 Mtn LSS 7mm-08 using Sierra 100 Grn HP's and RE15. When shooting the work up loads a couple of weeks ago it was a bit windy. Even so, I only had two 3 shot groups that went over 1" (just barely) @ 100 Yds and the rest were in the .5"-.8" range. I left that day thinking this combo definitely had potential.

Today the wind was a good bit calmer, but my first three groups were just terrible. 1.94", 1.296" and then a wopping 2.153". I'm thinking "what the heck went wrong here?". I couldn't blame it on the load because I had done mutch better with it the first time out and that was "in the wind". So, the only thing left to blame was.......me!

With that in mind, I really tried to settle down and started focusing on technique. The rest of the groups came in as follows: 0.788", 0.678", 0.415".....(steadily improving)....and the last two groups came in at 0.242" and 0.345". These are the two best groups I have ever shot with this rifle.

I only had time to shoot one group at 200Yds and it came in at 1.685".

Got to tell ya.....I'm pumped!!!...... ......Coyotes beware!!!!!
