We have an older cassette caller I am sure we won't use any more. It has a recharable battery attached to the machine.There is a charger, 6 tapes, and a carry bag. The speaker is attached right now to a long roll of heavy speaker wire. Not sure what it is worth, but could stop by with it sometime if we knew you were home on a trip to your area? I'm sure we could work out a deal.

We have a small stuffed red fox set out near the call. Fox urine is put on the tail before entering area. Does it help? "Don't think it hurts" Most coyotes still hangup on the edge of cover.

We'll probably be out again this weekend, Not sure about driving all the way to New Ulm though.We're north of Rochester. Been getting a few to come to our new Foxpro FX3, but a warm moonlite nite would be better. If Valv or someome had some calling sites near Faribault Thats about an hour drive for us, so could meet up there if interested? We would also like to check the ice on the lakes in sheildsville area, had good luck fishing there other years but not sure how safe it is with this warm weather?

I guess I can't condone using live animals even varmints for target practice. Anytime a living creature is involved the first intent should be to dispatch it quickly and cleanly. I found some information on the Remington accellerator which had a 55gr. psp bullet, but can't find any evidence it is still available. If you are determined to loping 30 cal. mortars at distant prarie dog towns, I think your best choice would be the Rem. managed recoil 120gr. psp. This will reduce energy to 1964 ft. lbs. making it kick more like your 243. Be careful that what you are shoooting at is really a praire dog, and not a protected animal like ground owls or you could find yourself in trouble!

I remember seeing in one of our old reloading manuals a saboted 30 cal. I think the bullet was 22cal, but I don't think it is made anymore? The 243 with a maxxed out 70 grain ballistic tip should work good for 500 yd plus. Wind drift will likly be the biggest problem anyway. Don,t bench shooters use 6mm which is the same dia. as 243 to help handle windage at long range. I think scope quality and at least 18x magnification are more important than what your shooting long range. cool the barrel or the heat mirage will distort the image.
