Just curious, I've read the whole thread and would just like to ask why the .243 was not even mentioned--I have a .204 and it's deadly accurate, but almost too fast if there is such a thing--got to hit the coyotes just right or it just puts a small hole through them--I see it as almost at the edge of too light for coyotes where'as the guy on Preditor Hunt favors the .243 and keeps consistantly knocking them over at considerable distances with it. I've never owned a .243 so what are the advantages of the .223 or .22-250 over it? Just wondering why it wasn't even in the running in this discussion-----
