Nathan,
I did get the high velocity load up and running with a little more testing and tweaking to do.
7 mag
162 Amax
72.2 grs H-1000
Fed GM210 primers
Rem brass
Bullet seated .010 off lands
MV- 3100 fps
Longest test so far- 1.5 inches @ 600 yds
Will get serious after the Christmas holidays at 1100 yds.

Re: Coyote vs 162 Amax
Very nice Jim and thanks for sharing!! The rifle looks like a Sendero with a NF scope, what magnification range is it and any issues with it zoomed up?
Thanks, Aj

Re: Coyote vs 162 Amax
It used to be a Sendero. The barrel is a Hart 26", 9 twist, #6 contour, Jewell trigger, DE cheek piece. The only thing original to the Sendero is the stock, HS Precision that's been glass bedded. I purchase the rifle in '99 and it's been a gradual upgrade. The scope is a NF 8-32x56. No issues in a NF. I normally shoot at 22 to 28x. In tight quarters, I'll back down to 8x and the scope will focus at 25 yds. The glass is superb and NF customer service is excellant. I send mine back every few years for cleaning at no charge to me. Hope to do some long range coyote hunting after Christmas.
PS- Thanks Nathen for all your help.

Re: Coyote vs 162 Amax
Nice rig your shooting Jim, I am running a NF 5.5x22 on a 300WM and have been toying with the idea of more magnification so your opinion/experience is helpful, Thanks!
Good luck with the coyote hunting!
