After thinking about it, I was thinking of going smaller. The 220 swift, 7x57, and 243 are what im thinking about.  I assume going smaller is ezier or more doable?

You should stay with the same length cartridge. How about a 25-06? That would take nothing more than a barrel swap.

Is it too much for coyotes and wildcats? Will it totally destroy pelts?m


I live near a powerline and I walk it near everyday. Not a day goes by that I dont see one. I used to wage an all out shooting war on them, but the past four years or so ive been pretty tolerant of them. But saw something last night that has me taking up the hatchet against them!.   Alsi, since ive moved here since sept, ive seen cougar on eight different occasions, all in the same relative area.      Shots tend to be longer, and it always seems breezy.
