would your swift do less damage with a 52 gr hollow point? what bullet do you use? When I ran the swift I had alright luck with the speed 52 grain hollowpoint. The one that has a bucket sized hollowpoint

Why not a .30-06 with 180gr ball ammo ? That's what my dad swore by. I'm still working up a 90gr solid load for my .6mm Remington and a heavier load than a 90gr bullet for the .25-06 Allan

I carry a 25-06 in ruger #1, and its an accurate round with 90grn hp, but I havent shot a coyote with it yet. I predict some fur damage with that round.

My 270 with 130 grain sierra boat tails (gameking) leaves a 4-5 inch tear to sew up.

Funny things, I can only see coyotes when I dont have a gun along.
I put on reading glasses when I sew up a hide.

As long as it shoots 1MOA @ 100yrds it's good to 400-500 barely. You guys stating 4 1/2" kill zone. Should be 450 yards, if you shoot 1 MOA at 100. 3/4" MOA be better.

At 400 yards a coyote aint very big. Got a little breeze going on. Got a few grass stems higher than the rest. Maybe a yucca stalk. Shooting from sticks your knees or a bipod. 400 yards is a long ways. We've all done it but it sure aint a sure thing. Used to hear guys claim they could shoot rabbits on the run, consistently, with 22 shorts. The guys that said they could were about 20 to 1 for the guys that could. Lots and lots and lots of rifles that can do it.

500 with a properly set up rifle is pretty much a chipshot, have taken crows that far, deer at over a grand, coyotes are not that common here so I haven't broken 500 on them yet. it doesn't have to but the better it shoots the easier it is, so you have a 1/2 moa rifle, the best you can hope for is to hit a 2.5" circle at 500 if everything is perfect, but you wobble the end of the muzzle just less than .007" yep 7 thousandths you just missed by another 5+ inches, now your 7.5" off POA, and 1/2 mph wind, your now off 8"+ so how easy is it?
