[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2446499, member: 122164"] as an avid coyote hunter, I like some bullet weight for quartering shots where frontal quartering shots go though the shoulder then vitals, or rear quartering shots where the bullet breaks a hip joint, then travels to vitals. The 22/250 AI is my very favorite coyote rifle, and I have had a room full of coyote rifles over the years. No flies on a 243 Win, 243 Win AI, 6 Rem, or the 6 Rem AI. As you can see, I like to use enough gun. If I knew 90% of my shots were going to be 100 yards and under, then I would go 223 with 55g Sierra's, Ballistic tips, with a hot load of 8208 at 3450 fps out of a Remington 700. 50 lb coyotes where I live are not unusual, and I shot a coy dog a few years ago that weighed 63 lbs. These varmint rifles also make excellent hog/deer rifles if the caliber is big enough. The Std 22/250 loaded with 60g Partitions massacres deer like a 30/06 with FAST 150g bullets. I quit saving pelts, and I just want those fawn killers real dead, real quick! With a shortage of dies like no time in history, the easy button would be a22/250 and 243 Winchester. I would recommend the 22 Creed, but I did a search for dies for a friend recently and there was only one set I could find and that was from Whidden dies. Dies and brass for the 243 Winchester and 22/250 are available, especially if you put a "want to buy" out on his and other boards. [/QUOTE]
