[QUOTE="Damage Inc., post: 2511419, member: 29754"] I’ll always pick a 6mm over a .22 cal for coyote work. The 6mms hit noticeably harder, especially as ranges increase. Given equal cases (.22 Creed vs. 6 Creed), there’s no way you can drive a .22 90 grainer as fast as the 6 can run a 105… at least not at equal pressure. The whole “barrel burner” thing is a dumb argument. I’ve heard that my whole life…. from at least 100 different people. I’ve met maybe a dozen people in my life who’ve actually shot the barrel off a gun… and in almost all cases, it was a “match” gun. That’s where the barrel burner reputation came from, match shooting, where you fire all 10 of your shots quickly, before atmospherics change. Treat a barrel right, and you’ll get twice the life out whatever caliber. Shooting the barrel off a gun, is one of the best investments a guy can make. There’s a reason that barrels have threads on the end…. so you can screw a new one on when shoot the old one out. Building a rifle to handle coyotes from 10 - 1000 yards…. is like trying to buy a truck that will tow 10,000 pounds, get 30 mpg, ride like a Cadillac, and get you way back in the hills. [/QUOTE]
