With a fresh coat of snow across Arizona on New Year's Day, I decided to head east from Flagstaff to Canyon de Chelly as I envisioned Spider Rock rising above the snow covered canyon. It was cold sleeping in the back of the truck at -3F that night and standing on the rim in the morning, but the view was warmth for a photographer's soul. The barren tree against the snow really captured my eye. This is quite different from the fall when the cottonwoods are a river of yellow. A Navajo tale has it that the top of Spider Rock is white from the bones of the bad Navajo children whom Spider Woman has eaten.

TwoGuns, I have usually figured that the effective range is 2/3 of the yards on the model. Figure about 800 yards for this 1200 yd model. I have ranged coues to 700 with it and 1000-1200 on reflective objects under ideal conditions. When this model came out, it had the narrowest of beam dispersions of the various rangefinders tested.

The lavender field and the old stone monastery? caught my eye.

That's a lot of brass and looks like a big kick of fun

What is your favorite bullet to use for Coues deer? Partition, Accubond, LRAB, TTSX, LRX, VLD, ELD-M, ELD-X, Scirocco, e-tip, BT, SP, BTHP, SST, core lokt? Did you arrive at your decision based on cartridge velocity, distance of shots, past performance good or bad (detailed elaboration is good to hear), accuracy, recommended by a stranger?

I have used older 130 .277 ballistic tips in a 270Win. Once had a 3" entrance hole on the shoulder, which I thought may have been due to "splashback" This may have been before the jackets were beefed up a little by Nosler. Other bullets that have been launched at Coues include 140 Partitions and 150 Ballistic Tips in a 7 Rem Mag. 140 Sierra BTSP in a 280Rem. Aside from the 130 BT from the 270, I have not had any excessive or too little damage and all Coues died in short order. Only lost deer was with a 6.5mm 130 Scirocco which I admittedly hit the deer too far back (operator mental error). Seems I have no favorite bullet as each deer season with a tag seems to have a different bullet loaded or a different cartridge. Bullets have been chosen based on a mix of construction, BC and accuracy in the rifle.
