Nice...I hate coyotes. We were a lot better off back when anyone could shoot them on sight anywhere.

155 gr Sierra Tipped Match King, 2600 fps MV How does the .308 AR platform (16" or 18" barrel) perform at longer distances 500-800 yards? Assuming 1-10 twist with a 175-178 grain match bullet?

My thoughts were it would be too slow out of the gate. The 175-178 gr is my go to .308 bullet, for a long barreled bolt action. But since the AR makes less velocity, and the 16" barrel makes less velocity. I needed to give the bullet some speed back. The 155 TMK is a miracle in that it has a high BC for as light as it is.
175 SMK, G1 .495
178 A-Max, G1 .500
155 TMK, G1 .518
So I've got a BC of .518 coming out of the barrel significantly faster than a G1 of .500 would be. That is a win, win.
