[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 382247, member: 7211"] Neather the .22-250 or the .243 is fur freindly, so it is my guess you are more interested in killing coyotes than collecting fur. If I were hunting for fur I would use the .17 Rem. Of the .243 or 250 I would choose the 243. I have 2 main coyote guns. For up close and personal and hunting with dogs, I carry an AE flat top with a 3 x 9 Leupold. For still hunting where I want to reach out and touch them I carry a .22-6mm. It pushes an 80 gr. 22 cal. bullet at around 3,250 fps., and with a BC over 400 it holds up very well to long range and wind. The thing is if your are looking for a long range rifle for coyotes, the 7 mm mag. is a better round than eather the .243 or the .22-250. The guy I hunt with most often carries a 7 mm mag. for coyotes. I have 3 .204`s all of which shoot the 32 gr. bullets extreemly well, but haveing hit 6 coyotes with 32 gr. Sierra bullets and not getting a one of them, 1 of them being knocked down 3 times and 1 being ran over with my pick-up after being shot, I will not carry eather of the bolt gun, I may carry the AR upper since I can keep on shooting.
