D.F.M. Report post Posted February 22, 2013 So what would you say is the best caliber for this type of hunting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted February 22, 2013 22-250 has always been my choice but ever since my son built me a Remington .17 I have used it and enjoyed how it puts them down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CWpredator Report post Posted February 22, 2013 My favorite is any AR platform .204 ruger 20practical or .223 just because of fast follow up shots. Depends what you're looking for. If your hunting for hides 20 cal is probably best because It hardly ever exits. If you want to blow stuff up for smaller varmints like prarire dogs 220 swift is the nastiest with 22-250 right behind. For larger varmints like coyotes if you looking for an explosion 25-06 or 243 is perfect with velocity and longer range capability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted February 22, 2013 I loved my kimber 22250, accurate, fast and killed like none other but it was to pretty! Now my ar is the only coyote rifle i take. Its a heavy barrel so i see all shots and follow ups are very quick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sherman Report post Posted February 22, 2013 I like 22-250 and the 25-06 just denpends on how long the shot is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniper Report post Posted February 22, 2013 I use an AR in .223 and an 11-87 12ga shotgun. I prefer to use the shotgun to be easy on the fur. I am interested in this new winchester 17 super magnum that is coming out in a few months. Curious how it will do on fur for the fox and bobcats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am guessing pretty expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huntjunkie Report post Posted February 22, 2013 If your after the fur its hard to beat a shotgun +1 Inside 45 yrds #4 buck shot drops them in their tracks. I use an extra full choke on my mossberg 835. 22-250 for a rifle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HEADACHE Report post Posted March 13, 2013 It is my humble opinion that the 243 is the best round for coyote hunting. That being said, I also love and use the AR-platform about 98% of the time I'm out. Fast follow-up shots and shots at running dogs are made so much easier with my AR-15's 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bignasty Report post Posted April 8, 2013 in heavy brushed areas my rem870 with dead coyote #4 buck in open areas rem 870 and savage in 223 I always take 2 guns on my stands never know when they going to sneak in ive had them come within 10 feet of me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muddy Report post Posted April 8, 2013 22-250 I've found that since the December shooting ammo for this rifle is MUCH easier to find than 223 or 308. Puts 'em down nice too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted April 8, 2013 I did have A LOT of luck with the 22-250 and 50 grain ballistic tip. I now shoot the same bullets in my AR-15 and they work great. Killed my javelina with that combo. No exits, great amount of damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
