Thanks for all the input. What is your take on a .223 vs. .22-250 for Coyote Hunting? I was leaning toward a .243 but I'm thinking that might be a little more than what I want. I live in Illinois so I couldn't use it for deer hunting, shotgun and muzzleloader only. As far as the .223 vs. .22-250 I know that the .22-250 is faster and will shoot a flatter trajectory, but the ammo is a bit more. The .223 ammo is cheaper, which since it is I'm thinking I might practice more with it. While I haven't been coyote hunting yet, my hunting will consist of still hunting (calling them in w/a decoy) not running them with dogs. With that said, my idea is to call them in so wouldn't the .223 be just as good as the .22-250? Which has a bigger exit wound? I don't plan on selling any fur but I might have my first mounted. This might be a Ford vs Chevy when it comes to .223 vs. .22-250, I don't know. I would like to know what you guys think?

Thanks
