[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 843752, member: 26227"] I am concerned about all the people that use 22-250 and have the coyote run off to be tracked later. I have hunted and shot Coyotes in Vermont, Maine, Nevada, Oklahoma, California, Idaho, and Western Montana with a 22-250 without fail the coyotes only take one to 4 steps before they drop in their tracks. I use 55 grain and 60 grain slugs, Win 760 powder, Winchester cases, Winchester primers, Rem 700 bolt gun and a Nikon scope. I have hit heart/lung shots, head shots, quartering shots without failure the coyote goes down. the only coyote that has not gone down immediately is one that I missed completely. there was one other; it was a wolf that I mistook for a coyote. he took a 90 grain slug from a 25-06 to stop. I have hit 65 pound monster coyotes with 60 grain Nosler ballistic tip boat tail with great success. I am worried about my continued success without using a larger caliber. Until I start having failure to die within 20 feet of being hit I am still going to rely on my 22-250 with Hornady and Nosler slugs. I might be changing powder someday.. but not soon. excellent accuracy, great velocity and gentle recoil. I can not ask for more. later Y'all.gun) [/QUOTE]
