6.5 creed or 6mm for coyotes?

[Stalker69]

If for coyote why not a 22 creedmore. Much more fur friendly.

I switch between my 6.5CM and my 6ARC depending upon how much weight I have to carry in the field. Both are Boss.

Which one?

Shot 6mm arc the other day. Very impressed with performance for <300yds

 

[CatManDo]

I really like the 6 ARC.
That said, I'd lke to have a 22 ARC or 22 Creedmoor.

AR Platform, 18 in heavy barrel. I believe it was rare breeds firearms

I'm looking into the grendel hunters 20" upper myself.

 

[Robinhood21]

Between those two, 6mm for sure. Better would be 22CM

I went with a 6mm creed in a suppressed bolt rifle. 21” barrel with a Harvester Evo on the end. But, I also intend to kill a few with a 45-70 this year. So… there’s that.

My 6 BR has proved to be a great coyote round out to big distance but if I had to do it again I'd run a 6 XC or 6 Creed to run a shorter barrel. I'm currently running a 105 berger at 2900 fps from a 26" barrel.

I have been running a 6 creed with factory 87 grain Vmax in gas gun for 2 years now. It can be hard on fur but very effective.

Same here. If i need a little more range or have to buck the wind i take the 6.5 if its a little closer quarters under 400 i take the arc.

My friend started with a 6.5 shooting 95 grain vmax. It did fine but for longer shots a 243 or 6 creed with a 70-90 grain bullet shoots flatter. We are all switched over to 243 or 6 creed in my group of friends.

If you're not making your mom a fur coat, why wouldn't you use a 6.5. You can take all sorts of stuff with it. The 6 seems very ltd use? Idk

I don't know why anyone would opt for a 6.5 for coyotes, unless that's all you got.

I don't save the pelts, I just want them down. I hunt them to help out the ranchers and farmers in my area. If I was saving the pelts then that would be a different story. (260 AI)

That's all I have done for the last 13 years. I have quite a few large ranches I do coyote control for. I use a 6mm variant a lot when fur isn't worth anything. I've never felt the need to use anything larger than that, but that's my personal preference.

Nothing wrong with that. If I had a 243 Win still I might use that also. My 260 AI is accurate so I leave that for extended ranges. My AR15 for close to mid ranges. I even want to test out my 7mm RM for those that I spot past 900 yards.
