Mono's on yotes
 
Well running low on my preferred yote pill in the 75gr V-Max, hit the local store and they were out of stock. Big surprise. So I picked up 2 of the 58 gr V- max, 2 of the 65 gr V-max and 2 of the 80 gr Gmx. So in the .243 win which one would you test first. I'm leaning on doing some development on the gmx and see how close it shoots to the 75 gr Vmax . Any one using tsx/ ttsx- or gmx on yotes lately?

The 58 grain vmax is a tack driver out of my .243 with IMR4064...right at 3900 fps...I have not shot many yotes with it, but it definately has the energy to the job, even at long range.

I tried some 58gr V-max in my 243AI when I first got it and found them to be too fragile on coyotes for my liking. They are awesome on sod rats, lots of air time so to speak.:sHa_shakeshout:

I tried the 55 gr. GMX in my 22-250 with 4 different powder and seat depth combos . Although none of them hit exactly the same as my 55 gr SP load 2 grouped very well tho shot 1 "to the right . the wild one had bullets tumble and hit target at right angles . Important to note that these particular bullets had to be seated deeper than my regular loads to group .

Well good day today, woke up early and hit the shop, resized, trimmed , deburred, and cleaned primer pockets on 60 2x fired brass. Thru everything in the tumbler and went on with the rest of the day . Dogs woke me up at midnight barking at yotes, couldn't sleep so out to the shop, few things can put a smile on a guys face like polished brass. Just taking the lid off the tumbler had me grinning. So cleaned the flash holes and loaded a few test rounds with the gmx/Rl 15. I'll run a few over the chrony this week and see how they group if I have some time and the weather is half decent.

I'm using the 65 V MAX in my 243. It shoots them real well and drops yotes real good if I hit em.
Pelt damage not bad usually only 1 hole. using a medium dose of varget.
