[QUOTE="Sharpstick, post: 287904, member: 4368"] One of each? :^) They are all capable, but the 243 is my go-to gun for coyotes. Mild enough recoil, factory barrels come with enough twist to launch a heavy Berger, and it makes a great extra big game rifle. Not many coyote run offs with a 105 VLD. Lots of other 6mm that peform great, but the 243 is easy to get brass and shoots factory ammo in a pinch. If I was planning on camping out on prairie dog towns, a 223 or 22-250 would get the nod with a 9 twist or faster. A 22-243 shooting 90grainers is a great long range varmint rig. Harder on barrels but major cool factor. The 204 isn't a great choice for the really long stuff but it's still a cool round...ok, looks like one of each was the right answer. [/QUOTE]
