[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 872104, member: 26227"] I see people are getting concerned with pelt damage. Of all the calibers that I have either seen or used; the least or no damage to pelts are these. 20 tactical, 20 Vartarg, 204 Ruger, 17 Remington, 17-222 Rem Mag, 17-222 Rem, 223 Rem, 221 FB, 222 Rem, 17 Mach4/17 FB, and 22-250 with starting loads under a 50 to 60 grain slug. For longer ranges the 243 and 6MM rem with 68 to 75 grain slugs and reduced loads seem to work very well. The 257 Roberts and 25-06 with 75 grain slugs do put a sledge hammer to the yotes but their pelts are not worth a darn once you put the hammer to them. Non-pelt season is the only time I use the 257 Rob or 25-06. With the bumper crop of yotes this year in western NV I will be taking lots of yotes with either my 17 Rem or 22-250. later....
