Fovorite caliber for coyotes and why

[Taj]

I do a lot of night Hunting for them here and you can only use 22 calibers. My favorite is my 22-250 loaded with 50 grain Vmax and running 4009 fps. It absolutely flattens them like a steam roller. Favorite transport? My mini jeep. That thing is so much fun Hu ting close to home.

Okay Pal, tell us about the Jeep!

22" Howa in 25-06rem. 80gr barnes ttsx at 3650fps. Bullet never leaves a 4" circle from 0-300yds. Oh and coyotes don't run off after hit. Next barrel will likely be a 25-06AI with the same bullet and 26" long.

.22-250
It just works. I have no problem with whatever, as I have used .204 Ruger, .223 REM, 6mm284 and .22-250 somewhat extensively. Probably more with the .22-250 than anything, followed by .223 REM.

Last time out with the .22-250

i'd say 264wm as i've been shooting that for 48 years. if i want to blow them up i'd go 338lm or 45-70.

Killed more with a 243 than anything but that was mainly out of it being by first gun. I've got them bad so fixing to put something new together before calving season.

22 Creedmoor had become my do all daily carry. The horizon vandal is what I settled on. Did 3 customs before it and still have them but it's my go to.

Nice I like the ballistics of the 22 how's the barrel life. How's the horizon, I've heard good things and they aren't crazy priced for a full build.

I can't make any claims on barrel life. Don't shoot enough, I take 223's when I shoot prairie dogs. I had to send the horizon back, it wouldn't shoot (I tried all the ammo I had both factory and worked up for my other rifles, tried many combos to work up a load for it and it flat would not shoot). Sent it back to the factory, they put a new barrel on it and I had it back in about a month, now it shoots everything I've tried. I paid $2100 I think. I really like the stock, barrel weight and length (18") is perfect. It feeds right, TT trigger, good bottom metal etc. no complaints.
