[QUOTE="Wildyote, post: 198668, member: 2259"] I have seen tons of coyotes shot in my lifetime and 6mm/.24 cal and 25 calibers really stop them at a distance. The 240 Weatherby is a good coyote round but expensive brass investment especially when they get flung in the snow. My favorite round is 6x284. The 6x284 is fairly fur friendly if shot placement is good. If you want to go to a 6mm/24 caliber look at getting a blue-printed action from PTG and buy a good barrel and stock and have gunsmith build you a 243 Ackley Improved. With the Ackley you will be able to shoot factory 243 ammo with good accuracy and when you have enough fireformed you can start load development. The nice thing about Ackleys is that you don't have to trim. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Another note don't buy a 243 wssm they are a joke. The cartridge is already has already died an early death. The have feeding issues and bring nothing to the table in additional accuracy. [/QUOTE]
