What's your longest shot on a coyote?

Around here, Lima area, it's rare to get a shot past 250 yards. I'm shooting a Savage Axis XP in .22-250 that I have dialed in up to 400 yards with my 55gr. Hornady V-Max reloads @ 3500 fps. So far, my longest shot has been with a Savage 11VF .243 with a 75gr. V-Max @ 3300 fps, at 190 yards.

It was something stupid, like -40*. I had the gun on bi-pods and in the prone position. Gun did all the work and collapse that dog as it passed through his head. My most memorable shot, next to my first deer.

At first I thought I missed as he didn’t budge...then the bullet got there[emoji23]. I used to shoot that gun at 600 yards almost weekly, but the excitement of a live target made it seem like it took forever for the bullet to get there.
