ORIGINAL: 8mm/06

If anybody here had used the 6.5 X 55 Swedish cartridge for bagging coyotes, please give me your recommendations for bullet weight and construction that has provided you with good results. Good results meaning rliable quick kills with minimal pelt damage. I have a .243 at my disposal also, but on occasion can think of carrying the Swede.

8mm/06....Here on my property i have Head shot and killed yotes with 22wrm @ about 25yds...I used to
kill them with a military surplus 6.5mm CARCANO for longer ranges.
