[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 2458990, member: 26477"] To ascertain the choice of caliber to suggest for coyote hunting depends upon many variables. (1.) Do you intend to sell the hide? (2.) Are you calling them in to set? (3.) Are you primarily hunting solo or with a buddy? (4.) Is your mission to primarily hunt coyotes with the firearm? If you are hunting fur, my favorite is a. 22-250, second .223, third 6.5 C.M..The 22-250 with a 55gn Hornaday V-Max or Nosler Ballistic Tip does the job without tearing up fur. I feel the faster the better. I rarely shoot coyotes over a hundred yards but have nailed a few past 400 with this bullet. I actually took almost 3 coyotes with my 12ga. shotgun for each one I took with my rifle the past 25 years. I took over 600 song dogs with my 25-06, the first 11 years I hunted coyotes for their fur, back when they fetched up to a hundred bucks per hide. Ran them with some Greyhounds back then. [/QUOTE]
