As a coyote hunter I constantly run a crossed want a be coyote hunters. Those are the guys who think the rifle for the hunt is a 223. I feel sorry for them as they either can’t read or are too stupid to understand a basic ballistic chart. The only caliber is a 22-250. It greatly surpasses a 223, not even close. So for all you guys heading out the door for the first time coyote hunt be one step ahead of the “poor 223 guys”!

are you any kin to buckmaster7

sounds like you and him live in the same house


oh yea!!! welcome to the forum looks like you'll be off to a great start

and i do own a 22-250 remington 700

I usually get close enough to where I don't need the added range of a 22-250.

that or maybe I'm too stupid to read a balistic chart.

poor guys that can't call.

i use a .243 for coyote, and a back up deer rifle...i like it...

nothing wrong withthe .223,they have been taken with 22 mags,.17
the -250 gives more distance,thats all

Please don't let the coyotes in on that little secret. All the ones I have killed with the 223 might come back to life. I have used the 223 since it came out and used the 222 before that.

JAMES, CAN YOU COMPAIR THE 222 AND .223,MUCH DIFF.?

Dang and those really poor guys that use a shotgun to kill them must be really really stupid.

Or maybe they are just that much better at getting close than brusser is.

UMMMM....

WHAT???!!!???

Don't tell that to all of the coyotes that have been killed with the smaller calibers -22 Mag, 22 Hornet, 222 Remington, and many others which have less reach than even the .223 does!!

I really feel sorry for all those so called misguided "hunters" that can't call them in. I agree with James, don't tell all of those yotes I killed with a 222 or a 223 that they don't work. I won't even get into the two I killed with my hornet.

Naconst- I couldn't tell much difference with the 222 and the 223 in terms of performance. Only difference I saw was 222 ammo was getting very hard to find, and I didn't reload at the time. I had a Remmy 722 that was an absolute tack driver. One of the few guns I regret selling.
