Re: Best coyote caliber---223 or 22-250???

I have killed many deer and coyote with a 223 Rem. All of them have been with a bolt gun. I have also killed and seen killed, many of the same animals with the 22/250. Inside of 200 yards, where most furbis taken here in Georgia, I haven't noticed any difference in killing power. I prefer the 223 simply because the twist rate in my gun will allow me to shoot heavier bullets, more suited for deer, hogs, and coyote in my area. Put a 53 gr Barnes TSX in the boiler room, and get your knife ready.
Agree with the above, and that truly is where the 22-250 does shine..out past 300 yards and beyond in a prairie-dog town...once you get it dialed in and with proper optics..taking them past 300 is not that difficult for most..
Inside I would say even 250--the 223 is a great caliber..I too use them and like the fact you can see your shot hit normal with the reduced recoil vs the 250...
