I have a T/C Prohunter I want to get a barrel for that I can hunt coyotes with. I've been using my 270 but since i've gotten into it I want something smaller or better suited for yotes. I'm torn between a 22-250,243,25-06,or a 308. I would love to hear from anyone. I dont want to make a bad choice and new to this and don't know alot of people who do it.
I use a .243 and love it. I have never taken a shot at a coyote farther than 200 yards with it, and never farther than 300 at deer. Still it worked everytime. I have several friends from Monatana who swear by their 25-06's though. Personally I do not think you could go wrong with either one.

I don't specifically hunt yotes (even though I would shoot one while deer hunting), but I personally can't think of a better caliber than a 22-250.....

If you want it specifically for yotes then either a .223 or 22-250.
If shots are intended to be under 300 yards then go with the .223. If over 300 yards then go with the 22-250.
Keep in mind that you canshoot a lot more inexpensively with the .223 than you can with the 22-250.

IMHO if you have no reason for buying a chamber but to usefor yotes/varmits and have no handloading stuff for a 6mm or a 22 series caliber that would be my vote....check out some ballistics, plus it is a unique and fun little round.

I'd go with the .243.Not a whole lot of difference between the 25-06 and your .270.The .22's are nice but the 243 will have them for lunch as distance increases due to it's superior wind bucking ability.How'd dat 308 get in this one?
Need helping picking out caliber.
