.260 Rem on yotes?

Hey guys, how would the .260 Remington do on yotes? I dont want it to rip the hide all up, because that would require sewing and such. Are there any available  bullets that i could use to take coyotes effiently (no suffering) and wouldnt rip up the hide very much? Thanks.

NH,

The bigger bores do deliver more than needed on coyotes. All will shoot through from any angle with any bullet. You might as well use your favorite deer bullet/load and plan on sewing hides up.AW

NH;

Any of the .22 centerfires will do the job humanely, given proper shot placement.  I like the 6mm to do the job because: A. I don't give a rodent's rosy red rectum about the hide, B. The 75gr V-Max is not affected as much by the wind and, C.  Retains more energy farther out there than the .22's.

Given your circumstances & ranges, I'd think the .223 would be a great choice.  However, I also think carpet bombing with B-52's is perfectly acceptable if you can kill enough coyotes to justify the expense.

There is no such thing as a good dual purpose deer/fur rifle.  As Timberghost says the .223 is probably the best all around fur gun where both coyote and fox are the target.  Even the .22-250 is going to leave an ugly exit on occasion and it will blow fox to bits quite regular.
