The 85 grain is the lightest bullet I use in this 6mm-06 wildcat or 243-06 wildcat cartridge, and consider it or the 87 grain Hornady V-MAX bullet to be the best long range coyote loads for my wildcat rifle.

Due to a broken stock repair job shortening my deer season, I only got one shot during the entire 2000 Wisconsin deer season and dropped a nice doe running broadside around 30 mph at 100 yards. My lead was perfect and the 100 grain Sierra boat tail bullet broke her neck, she fell in a pile and never moved. I felt very comfortable and confident taking the shot in an open field, --had I passed that running shot up my entire deer hunting season would have been a total wipe out.

I was using my 243/06 / 6mm-06 wildcat rifle with a Weaver K 6 scope, (a K4 is better for running shots), I need a good variable scope for this rifle. This is a flat shooting wind bucking tornado of a cartridge for taking deer, coyotes, or foxes in open country at long ranges.
