[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 3085562, member: 9308"] I vote 20" barrel for a .223 Rem/5.56 (Wylde) in an AR platform. As for accuracy, it is less a .223 vs. 5.56 issue as it is "what is the twist rate of the barrel you got"? Once you know the twist rate, just use bullet weights favorable to that twist & accuracy will be good with .223 or 5.56 ammo as long as it has the right bullets loaded in the case. Since you are doing coyotes at 250 yds, I'd go with a 1in9 or 1in8 twist barrel and shoot stuff in the 50 to 69gr range. Lighter and heavier bullets could still be used but you would have to test & see how they did out of your gun to know if they'll work well or not. [/QUOTE]
