[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2243060, member: 91783"] In the service we didn't get a lot of different rifles to choose from and when I was a kid I only had two to choose from a 22 long rifle Remington and an old Winchester 30-06 . I still have and use a model 70 30-06 but have other bullets then the issued 175 grain bullets . When I first started control work I used my 30-06 and a 223 . I tried the Remington 17 cal and found it not to be to my liking . I tried the 22-250 and it really wasn't what I wanted nor was the 243 , the 300 savage wasn't it either . I have used even the 7.62x39 AK 47 not what I wanted but worked . I even shot a 25-06 till the barrel wouldn't group well . A lot of them could be made accurate but just didn't do what I wanted them to . When I got to loading for the 223 and found that I was happy with what it did for me I pretty much just stayed with it . When your paid per coyote you don't want to have to hunt them down again after the first time . Yep it's fun to shoot other calibers and a lot of them kill coyote just fine I just got comfortable with trusted and enjoyed my 223 as well as loading for it . As well as dragging the coyote back and putting it in my truck I nor my truck got as messy as with some of the other calibers . [/QUOTE]
