the question you need to ask your self is "what do i want to do with it after the shot" if pelts are if no concern then the 22-250 is a good choice.flat shooting,long range fast caliber but it will do conciderable pelt damage.if your looking to save hides then maybe something in a 223 or the best pelt rifle there is,the 17rem.the 243 is also a good coyote rifle but it also does some pelt damage.each one of these has its pros and cons so think carefully on what you want to do with the animal,what else you might want to use the rifle for and what kind of range your shots will be.these three things will be the deciding factors on what rifle you want or need to use.
