Ultimate predator caliber

My vote goes to the 25-06. An 85 grain ballistic tip being pushing around 3500 fps will destroy a predator.

Another Swift fan here. I have been shooting the Swift for 37 years and it is my all time favorite varmint caliber.

Having said that, for closer in calling I also use a 222 and 17 Remington. Depending on your distance, the 17 is hard to beat out to about 300-325 yards. I really like how you can see your bullet hit the varmint through the scope because there is so little recoil.

But, if I could only have one the Swift would be it for me, hands down.

17 hornet because you don't need any more that 20 grs to kill a yote, cat, fox or coon

Somewhere I have a pic of what this does to a yote's face

[TxArcheo]

.222 Remington

[Jared.King]

.243

But I think the 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 spc for AR-15 platform

I don't know if there is such a thing. Just depends if you're wanting a rifle dedicated to saving fur or killing them at any angle during a tournament. It's hard to have both all in one rifle.

I think you are looking at this all wrong. Don't look at the caliber so much as the bullet and load you shoot. I did a lot of experimenting with bullets and loads back in the 80's to 1. Limit the amount of pelt damage. 2. Best accuracy at 150 yds. It was surprising that I settled on two loads out of my Rem. 788 in .223. One was at 2650 fps with a Speer SP in 55 gr. and the other was a really hot load with a 53gr. BTHP match. The spire point would punch a small hole and penetrate completely and I usually shot into the shoulder for a quick kill. The BTHP would disintegrate inside the chest and mostly no exit wound for a devistating kill. If you just happens to hit the rib cage though it left a YUGE hole on the other side.

To answer your question I'd say 22-250 over .223

[Drycreek3189]

You can't kill them any deader than dead, and you named the best two in the OP. You just want another rifle......................























...........and there ain't nothin wrong with that !

What is the absolute best all around predator caliber? And why?

.223 n .22-250 are out of the question I got both

Are you wanting to save the pets or no? If not I'd get a 243 with a Varmint bullet. If you are wanting to save a 204 Ruger with a light screaming fast bullet that will blow up internally and hopefully not exit.
