Need helping picking out caliber.
I have a T/C Prohunter I want to get a barrel for that I can hunt coyotes with. I've been using my 270 but since i've gotten into it I want something smaller or better suited for yotes. I'm torn between a 22-250,243,25-06,or a 308. I would love to hear from anyone. I dont want to make a bad choice and new to this and don't know alot of people who do it.

I use a .243 and love it. I have never taken a shot at a coyote farther than 200 yards with it, and never farther than 300 at deer. Still it worked everytime. I have several friends from Monatana who swear by their 25-06's though. Personally I do not think you could go wrong with either one.

If you want it specifically for yotes then either a .223 or 22-250.
If shots are intended to be under 300 yards then go with the .223. If over 300 yards then go with the 22-250.
Keep in mind that you canshoot a lot more inexpensively with the .223 than you can with the 22-250.

RE: Need helping picking out caliber.
I'd go with the .243.Not a whole lot of difference between the 25-06 and your .270.The .22's are nice but the 243 will have them for lunch as distance increases due to it's superior wind bucking ability.How'd dat 308 get in this one?
