[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2183489, member: 113623"] .223 is, but if you go that direction, I would go with the heaviest bullet you can find. In CA we have lead restrictions so the only real factory non toxic load I can find is a Barnes 55gr and it just does not put them down. When coyotes run off, depending on brush and terrain, sometimes they can be impossible to find, especially if they go down a hole. I also don't like not knowing whether I hit them and need to pursue, or I missed and just need to let them go. They are tougher critters than most give them credit for. The 55gr (and I am assuming 52gr) is meant for a 1:12 twist barrel which the CZ 527 has but the Wylde AR probably does not. If its around a 1:8 then you may experience what our troops in the sandbox experience when they shoot a scrawny insurgent and that person runs off. Personally I am upping to a .243/6mm in the interest of "bang, flop" based on a couple of bad experiences. My recommendation would be to consider the .243 or 6.5 you are looking at. [/QUOTE]
