Leupold for 243

speaking of "taping ballistics to your stock"... does someone not make a handy ballistics chart holder thingy

like the quarterbacks play book wrap on their wrist?

I get tired of tape going all gunky and letting go, etc.

I used to use a regular "wrist coach" for exactly that purpose. Printed and laminated my own dope cards that would fit in there. Had a different card for each rifle / load. Its ability to stay where you want it depends on the shape of the stock.
Most of them use Velcro, which is way too loud for a hunting rifle. I replaced the velcro with magnets.

Laminate a chart and slide it behind one of those stretchy shell holders that go on the stock.

This is a more purpose-built solution, but still appears to use velcro, and I don't like that there's no cover. -- That shiny plastic is just asking for trouble when hunting coyotes on a sunny day.

$50. Shell holder is like $10 and I works perfect. Just slide out the chart, take a look and slide it back in. Plus you have extra shells at the ready.

These look nice.

The price is just a little nuts.

Or just quit being a poor and get yourself some Sig (or Vortex or Leica, probably others by now) range finding binos that have Applied Ballistics on-board. You input all your details into a phone app and bluetooth-beam it to the unit. Range the target, and it gives the solution directly to your right eyeball.
You can change from one rifle / load to another with a few taps on your phone. Once it's synced with the binos, you don't even need your phone anymore. Yes, you're at the mercy of electronics, but it's so dang slick.

Between that and using a tripod, my brother and I have started hammering coyotes at previously unimaginable distances relatively routinely. Well that, and shooting a 22 Creedmoor. He calls his "the equalizer". I prefer "fricken laser beam".

22 man bun is my next one.

Probably swap barrels on one of my Montanas

My Swarovski scope came with these stickers…you can wright your numbers on there from their ballistics app. I cover the sticker with clear packing tape so the numbers don’t smear off.

I tape mine to the objective bell and never a problem. And use my duplex as a rangefinder. It's that simple for me.

All this tech talk is funny.

I can kill most coyotes out to 400 yards with a 3x9 scope.

Ain't never used a (chart), dots,hashmarks,ect.

Old school FTW.
You must run something that shoots pretty darn flat.

Nothing fancy. 70 grain blitzkings for coyotes.

Called in and killed 100s.
Shoot a coyote at 300 yards, it's 600 yards there and back. (Drag).
Shoot one at 600, it's 1200 yards.

Ya last scope I bought my Dad says “why do you need that? Just be a better hunter!”

 

[CatDaddy]

Honest question as a non-coyote hunter (yet).....Why do you need a physical copy - why is there not an app on your phone?

Speed of use. Range look shoot vs range enter into phone then shoot

Same guy that walks into a gun store and says:

"Got any 1911s?!?" "Winner of 2 world wars is good enough for me" "Don't need any of those new fangled polymer stuff!!!"

Ok Elmer.....

HATE, HATE, HAAAAAAATE relying on anything that has a battery. (I do it if I have to though)

Even if I have a spare/charger.

 

[guywhofishes]

Phones are convenient - when they're convenient. Like sitting in a blind waiting.

I HATE relying on a phone for "hurry the EFF up you have 10 seconds to figure this out" situations. Gloves, snow, fumbling, phone is too cold, gotta dig it out of the pocket your currently laying on, blah blah blah. HATE it too. Pisses me off just typing this.
