[QUOTE="cam2hunt, post: 1792480, member: 94447"] Are you hunting coyotes to save fur or to protect livestock/wild game/thin out predators? The 6.5 will carry better in the wind farther out and you can go with a wide range of bullet weights if the aim is predator control. If saving fur the .22-250 has lighter bullet weights but they run so fast, can be a bit on the explosive side with thin skinned game like coyotes for exit wounds. Many a coyote has fallen to the .22-250 though. I utilize .223 with 40gr Fiocchi ammo and they are a bit more fur friendly. Tell us a bit more of what you are looking to accomplish, will help steer your path. [/QUOTE]
