[QUOTE="stifle, post: 338522, member: 9874"] Scott, Go with the 243. I have hunted coyotes with this rifle for years. It is in my oppinion the premium caliber for coyotes. I don't know how much long range work you want to get into, but this caliber will fight the wind a whole lot better than the 223. Don't bet me wrong the 223 is an excelant round and my hunting partner roughtinely makes shots out to 800 yards on a calm day. But if you consider that a good 10 mph breeze can blow your round 125 inches it can be very tricky to dope wind. I have shot the barrel out of my 243 and since rebuilt the rifle into a tack driving 6x47 lapua. If you are going to go wildcat I would highly recomend this round. Simmiliar ballistics to the 243 with way better barrel life. Anyway for a good old coyote gun "243" all the way. Good luck to you sir, Stifle [/QUOTE]
