Anyone shoot a 6mm Ackley?

I do have another rifle in .280 remington, which I would probably use for elk. I would think I nice heavy berger would fly right through a coyote without harming the hide too bad. am I right, or would I be better off to shoot a lighter bullet and try to have it not exit?

A FMJ would do that, however, the newer varmint bullets are designed to enter and explode. Call them in close and head shoot them with a .17.
