[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2777248, member: 115658"] If you load your own - 6.5-06. Lots of cheap, easy to obtain brass. Velocities about 1-2 % less than 6.5 PRC. A 120 ELDM or 123 ELDM at 3150 fps is a real effective flat shooting bullet at up to 600, the slower muzzle velocity 140 ELDM's pass them at 600. 120-123 ELDM expansion is reliable on a 35 pound or so yote. A fast twist (7.7 or 8) .22-.250 with 75 ELDM's is also effective, up to 600, and has less blast & recoil & cheaper bullets & uses about 20 grains less expensive powder than the 6.5-06. Long term coyote attrition, with economic considerations, would favor the .22-.250, provided adequate brass availability. Nighttime cameras placed in strategic positions would provide info regarding yote movements to locate positions to shoot yotes. The yotes are creatures of habit & prefer same daily routines. The coyote is a cunning & determined creature & when running in packs is a real menace - coyotes running in packs have killed humans. Fear of the coyote is justified. [/QUOTE]
