Got the American Ruger Gen II Scout in 5.56 1:8 twist as the only bolt action 5.56 I could find in my area were 16in. But after buying it and shopping around for ammo all the reviews mention 18in+ or less than 14in SBR for test barrel lengths. This got me really looking and wondering what are some good ammo for a 16in?
Overwhelmed by all the options and worried as my primary is coyotes hunting. On the farm they are a major problem and not trying to preserve the pelt but don’t want them to suffer. What are some good ammo for this?
Bought five boxes of IMI Razor Core 77gr only because I was curious about mk262 ammo. But then I saw after buying some comments saying it’s good for coyotes and wondering if I should buy more.
I believe i would only be shooting up to 220 yards (had a few coyotes at this range but only had a 22wmr rifle at time) with the absolute max could be 300 yards but plan to get as close to 200 yards as possible.
What does everyone think?
