Default RE: 7MM Magnum???

Whatever I have in hand at the time is what they get shot with. I have on several occasions been stalking elk and ran across coyote and dispatched them with a 308. Coyote eat my livestock. I would rather mess up a hunt by doing so then let them pass to get hit in the wallet by them later. When I go out predator hunting I use a 17 rem or .223. Any other time it may be a 22lr up to a 308. Just depends what I'm after that day.Or if one ventures into a field when I'm out and about. Personally a 7mm mag is too strong for me. The receiving end not the giving end.
Any of the 3 listed will do fine. Just be careful of ricochets. All of the 3 will go through many coyotes stacked together and keep on going. By the way I am not advocating a 22lr for coyote. If that's what I have at the time I do take a head shot, but not the best choice for coyote, actually may be one of the worst.
Blessings
