Default Newbie Question?

I'm buying a new gun for coyte and praire dogs. I already have a .270 that I shoot pretty decent and a 300rum for big game. Here's my question, am I gonna be unhappy with a .223 or will it be fine for coyote hunting. I can always go down to 100 grain on the .270, but that may be considered over kill. I'm trying to figure out if I should go with a .223 or a 22.250. I don't reload and the .223 is much cheaper to shoot for the prairie dogs. From looking at the ballistics my .270 can do almost anything that a 22.250 can do. Thanks in advance for your advice!
