[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 12703, member: 8843"] I'm gonna agree with Jerry on the 6.5-06 , here is my reason. 1)deer being the largest game and being shot at under 600yds 2)low recoil as compaired to down range thump 3)good brass and simple to load , getting the 30-06 Lapua brass and running it through the 6.5-06FL die and your done 4)a huge selection of great bullets The Nosler #5 book says that you can get 2800fps+ out of a 24" barrel , I'm guessing that these numbers are conservitive and if you go with a 26" tube you should be able to get the 140gr bullets real close to the 3000fps mark. And I would think that a 96gr V-max or 107gr SMK would make a realy nice thump on your coyotes if they were launched at 3500fps or so [/QUOTE]
