Shot one at 0645 a week ago Saturday, around 35lb male and 123yds with a 22 Hornet. I was turkey hunting at the time, turkey down at 0920 with the same gun at 85yds.
Texted a buddy of mine about the yote and he sent back "only 500,000 more to go". lol

Nice kills.  Yes, Iron glow, the BK semed to have no problems goign through the dog.  The impact was behind the shoulder though.

Streak, factory ammo. Hornady I think with a Prairie Dog on the box. My Local gun shop guru had me try some when I purchased the barrel (Encore) and ended up buying all he had in that batch #.  Pretty awesome for accurate in my opinion.

 ;) Swift, nice shot on the coyote...it is great to catch them unaware..those Serria's and the .22-250 really do a number on varmits...I mostly use 50 grainers,  but they are excellent..congradulations..been a couple mths. since I shot a coyote..
52, Nice shooting on the coyote and turkey...killed several of each with my Hornet..it is one fine caliber..used to shoot fox squirrels with it in WVA in years past...excellent round...

I'm new to the Blitzkings with hunting but not Sierra Bullets.  They are for sure my go to company.  So, far, I have been impressed with the outstanding accuracy and terminal performance on varmints the BKs have brought.  This was my first predator with one, but I still have my reservations about them and punching through a coyote's shoulder with how thin skinned the bullet is.

 ;) Swiftone, before I retired 13 years ago, I bought up several thousand bullets of various types for the .22 cal..both Vmax and Blitzkings...I have shot both, but probably more of the Serrias...I would have to look at my notes to see just howmany, but probably several dozen to 50...never had a failure ...they are killers for sure..enjoy... ;D
