[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 447366, member: 7211"] You will find youe AR very hard to beat for up close and personal with coyotes, I used one also. For reach out and touch them I use eather a 224 TTH ( 2-6mm) or a 6 - 284. ( just started plaing with the 6-284) I have plaied with several different 17 cal. rounds and have 3 different rifles in 204 right now. I think that the bullet slection for the 17 makes it a better choice for coyote, but a 204 with a fast twist with the heave Berger bullets, I think, would be Ideal. The 224 TTH is not a good range gun. I burnt the throught out in 1,000 rounds, but the only time I ever shot a group at 600 yrds. it came in just under 2 in. It has an 8 twist and I shoot 80 gr. Sierra bullets. Only runnig around 3,200 fps because that`s where I got the best accuracy. I`m pushing 105 gr. bullets around 3,250 fps with the 6-284 but have a way to go with it. The 105 gr. bullets are only grouping around .680 moa. and when I get to 700 yrds. they are opening up more than that, enought to miss at least 1/2 of the coyotes. [/QUOTE]
