Nikon recoil problems

just tried rl22 67grs with 180gr accubonds. About 1.5-2" group. I'm not going to excpet anything over1" but want 1/2"

Also too, make sure you let your barrel cool down between shots. I personally take at least 3 minutes between rounds!! That will affect accuracy!

 

i will post this again for our new friends this is r-19 180 gr sierra prohunters out of my 300wsm

Shooter31...................Ronk may have just brought up an interesting point!...... The Coyote lite that you are using, if I remember correctly, has a slimmer fluted barrel with holes in the forward portion of the stock. Well! You may not be able to produce the groupings that you wish regardless of your accurate reloads, bullets used, powders used or whatever!.....Simply stated; because of your rifle`s characteristics, the thinner and longer barrels have more flex, writhe and vibrate more as the bullet passes down the barrel. They are more affected by the term "disharmonic resonance." As a result, they are inheritently somewhat less accurate!......... The Winchester coyote lite is a stealthy, damn good looking rifle. The fluted barrel looks great too and keeps the weight of the rifle down. But, that comes with a price, which is paid for with a little less accuracy............Many shooters don`t understand, that the main reason for the thicker, heavier barrels, especially in varmit/ bench rifles, IS NOT to ABSORB HEAT, but instead to make them STIFFER!! As a result, better accuracy!.........Because of your rifle`s individuality in design, I have a pretty good suspicion (99% sure), that this is where your accuracy problem lies! A shorter, stiffer and/or heavier barrel is always more accurate than a longer slimmer one. In your case, with your rifle, the laws of physics have taken over!!! You cannot defeat it, you can only keep your rifle and roll with it..........Assuming you cannot obtain the groups you wish, the only other alternatives would be, to sell the rifle or if possible switch the barrel out. I wonder if there are other coyote lite owners out there with the same accuracy issues as you!!!.......Start a new thread asking exactly that. You may find some collaborating evidence which shows a pattern similiar to that of your own!!!................. 

mine likes r-19 66.5gr of it with a 180gr sierra prohunter as the picture shows

Hey Shooter............Glad to see that your groups are shrinking down!!! Every rifle has their own sweetie loads. You just have to play around alot to determine which loads work best for your rifle. Don`t get rid of it yet! LOL!!!.............On Pyro`s behalf, I could answer your question. But,,,,I will let him do the honors!!

HERE WE GO GOT PYRO ALL STIRED UP NOW LOL J?K BUD

 This is a 5 shot group with a 300wm 75gr of H4831sc with 210m primers and rem brass. This was a hot barrel group it was to hot to touch. If the gun is set up right the heat in the barrel shouldn't have anything to do with lost accuracy.

I cold test my loads and then hot test them. I know there is only one shot that counts for hunting that’s the first one on cold barrel. But I like to have all aspects of how everything works in almost all conditions.

 

just a refresher. Scope is fine, found my load. 1/3" groups. Very happy with load,gun,scope.

Experience with Nikon service--yep--it's pitiful.. I had a 3 week old Monarch 3x9 that the bullet impacts would wander right and left...Sent it to Nikon and received a $269 estimate to repair my new scope..It took a month of emails and calls to get a response from "Ed" that Nikon would cover it...The scope came back about 6 weeks later functional but scuffed up...
