[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 975750, member: 711"] Not too much gun, but too short range to be an ideal coyote gun, plus most guns that shoot this round are not as accurate as bolt guns. I think you would like a .243 for coyotes. Ammo is common and less expensive than most center fire, velocity is high, trajectory is flat, recoil is minimal, and with proper bullets you can kill deer with it. Also, .243 bolt guns are often available used, and there are some very low cost single shots available from NEF. There are many other good calibers. I have a 25-06 that's deadly accurate and good for 300 yards plus. Lots of folks use the 22-250, and .223 works well too. I have a friend (a rancher) who kills about one a week, year round, with a 6mm Remington (very similar to .243). His longest kill so far is about 400 yards. If you can kill 'em with your AK or SKS (I presume it's one or the other), just do it. I think you'll find yourself wanting more range and more accuracy. CB [/QUOTE]
