[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 496828, member: 22030"] I shoot most of my coyotes while working on the ranch so shot angles are not always perfect. I think anything works well on a broadside coyote, but the 6mm's with a 70gr or heavier bullet will handle tough angles and still leave a dead dog. I haven't had those results with a 223 or 22-250 and 50-55gr bullets. The 243-6mm's have been the most accurate rifles I've owned and done a great job on a couple hundred coyotes with 70gr ballistic tips, 75gr V-max, or heavier bullets. Most have been with the 70 or 75gr bullets, but I've tried most all of them. I've shot lots of coyotes with the 22 cal rifles and am building a 204, so It's not that I think that they don't work. I just want plenty of penetration from any angle. I shoot yotes with a 6mm & deer with the 264 win mag - 7mm Rem mag range of rounds . I believe in having enough gun for tough conditions even though lighter calibers work great with a well placed shot. I like exit wounds on big game and coyotes that fall in their tracks without one, even if bone is hit. [/QUOTE]
