If I waited for nights with low humidity, light winds, decent temps, etc I would never hunt. On this night, it snowed for most of the night, but I still managed to kill coyotes.

I haven't been here in a month of Sundays but it's good to see not too much has changed. More fine calling and shooting. On a minor note, why the change from 22 to 20-250?

I have always loved my 22-250s. I have tried so many different calibers and loads and always seemed to come back to it for the combination of killing power plus not a ton of fur damage. I still love my 22-250s. However, I tried the .204 Ruger back about 15 years ago. I felt the caliber had potential but I didn't love the bullets available at the time. I tried it again last year and found a bullet that I am reloading that I absolutely love. It hits as hard as my 22-250 with a lot less recoil and powder and is just pure fun to shoot.

The reason for a 20-250, is now that I had a 20 caliber bullet I love and I have so much brass of the 22-250, it only seemed natural to try it. The goal was to be able to push the .20 cal bullet faster than normal, but be able to do this in a shorter barrel making it easier to get in and out of the truck, etc. My 20-250 is pushing a 40gr HP around 4150 out of a 20" barrel. Does it kill them any deader, probably not, but a fun thing to shoot and try.

At 4150, I doubt many will "jump the string".
