This is exactly where I am at with it. Either a 22-250 or 6mm creedI'm planning the same thing, and I know they can be loaded down to 55gr, but them you'd have to get your barrel made in a 1-12 (maybe, I'm really not certain), but the standard is a 1-8 and some are even faster, 1-7 or 1-7.5 so they can shoot bullets in the 108 gr range. I've killed a few coyotes with a 108gr from a 6mm arc, and it chews them up pretty good. I'm trying to convince myself that it doesn't matter, and that our pelts in TN really don't have any value anyways, but it is on my mind. I'm interested in hearing other opinions here..
thank you for the information.i've got three of em and consider it perfect for wolves with 108 eldm........if taking coyotes with facing chest shot there is no fur damage.
taking a broadside shoulder shot ruins hide.
if hunting coyotes only i'd be looking at a harder bullet in about 70 gr class.
Try the Sierra #1515 80grain Biltz Varminter Bullet. I have used it in a 6x45 cartridge on coyotes and it is very fur friendly. I have just had a rifle chambered in the 6mm Creedmoor and haven't shot a coyote with it yet however, I'm very confident you would be happy with it's performance.Looking to build a 6mm creedmoor for coyote hunting. Whats your opinion?
