Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 220 swift or 25-06

I use my .25-06 for coyotes and mule deer. It's not fur friendly. Does a fine job of slamming the dogs though.

The smaller cartridges seem to leave the fur intact more often if that's what you want. Most of my 'yote hunting buddies use a .223 of one kind or another, the AR-15 being most popular.

FWIW, Guy
