I run a full blown custom 260. Ive done all the research... it comes down to the 260, 47 lapua, and creedmore... if you are a avid reloader you would probably choose the 260 or 47 lapua because there is better brass avalibility. Best brass for a creedmore last time i searched was only hornady brass. In most cercumstances with 140gr bullets across these three calibers the 260 barley out performs them. Im my case with a 28 inch barrel on my 260 i out perform a creedmoore and 47 lapua and am more on terms with 6.5x284 ballistics.
They are all prooven. They are all good... the 47 lapua has more inhearented accuracy due to the case design, but they can all perform amazing with the right loads...
for a coyote gun i personally wouldnt go over 6mm. But it is hard to beat 6.5s and im a 6.5 sucker...
i may be an odd ball, but id opt for the 6.5x47 lapua for this situation. Its prooven itself in 1000 yard benchrest for distance and accuracy, component availibility is there in quality, less powder for the same performance = cheaper to load for.
Matter of fact im having one built right now in an XP100 to run 120gr or 130 gr pills
