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

When I used to sell furs I killed a lot of coyotes with a 220 Swift. I never had to go look for one and the fur was always in good shape.

The 25-06 is also a fun long range coyote cartridge. Kills are impressive but you are going to have larger holes in your hides. I shot this bobcat last season with the 25-06 and 100 grain Ballistic Tip. The taxidermists says he can fix the hole.


I say the 220 Swift if you want to sell furs. The 25-06 if you don't.
