[QUOTE="archangel485, post: 1976450, member: 97905"] Haha, that sounds like a blast! I'm trying to figure out if you have a 22-243 why build another one? If you like it, great keep the one you have, but build something new and different for your next build. I like to tinker with different things. But really if you had 2x 22-243s in the safe which one would you grab? As far as something different, you'll have to balance the fact that you want flat trajectory out to 300 yards against barrel life and more wind drift. I just built a 25 creed and it would be a great coyote rifle for sure, but is definitely not flat to 300, then again the wind compensation is a lot less and the barrel life will be pretty long. Really all the options you listed would be good coyote rounds. The 22-243AI would be cool but so similar to 22-243 you already have that I'd try something else. 6 creed has tons of good factory options like brass. 25 creed even has brass now (I went with Peterson). An option that's gained a lot of popularity lately that has good brass options is 22 creed, have you considered that one? Would probably be similar performance to your 22-243 maybe slightly slower.
