[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 1247344, member: 81139"] Heya... the 22-250 is a great platform for a bolt action... fast... flat.. hard hitting. It's a definite caliber of choice for a lot of predator hunters. I have one, but I personally find that I use the .223 more often... both bolt action and semi. The reason is that the bullets are less expensive to buy... brass is abundant, reloading you use less powder, and if you use the right bullets (fast expanding)... it is an absolute coyote thumper which doesn't damage fur with the right shot placement. (rarely get a bullet that passes through a mutt). This is also nice if you have equipment or livestock in the area in which you shoot... you don't have to worry as much about a bullet coming out the other side and hitting something you don't want it to. I love my bolt action rifles... have a lot of them... but I find that I take my semi auto out with me more to coyote hunt than my bolts. The reason is for fast follow-up shots, shooting runners, especially when multiples come in. It's all a matter of preference though. Either caliber will serve you very well for shooting coyotes... just a matter of what you want! [/QUOTE]
