[QUOTE="dwinmeade, post: 2005234, member: 111253"] Have you ever tried to make your cat bark? Or your dog meow? Or your deer rifle (6.5CM) not blow up coyotes? Your question borders on being a trick question (hence, the humorous beginning). Can your question be answered? Possibly...but I sense a lot of reloading experimentation to try to make your long-range deer rifle submit into being a short-range "fur friendly" coyote rifle. It's your "fur friendly" stipulation that throws a 'monkey wrench' into the equation, especially using the 6.5CM. (My dog almost choked to death on his last meow try.) Easiest (and probably the cheapest) solution is: Let your 6.5CM deer rifle shoot deer. (Bark, bark says my dog.) Use a coyote rifle to shoot coyotes. A 22-250 or a measly 223, (either one would work), load 'em up with a frangible bullet at normal velocities. This might be a little much for a fox or a bobcat that happens by, (probably dropping down to a 17WSM/204 Ruger would be more "fur friendly" for them), but shoot them anyway, with whatever you got. One less coyote/fox/bobcat walking around is the goal. Conclusion...I hope my humorous interjections didn't affend you...it was to make my point: Shoot deer with a deer rifle. Shoot coyotes with a coyote rifle. Blessings in your coyote quest! [/QUOTE]
