Best Caliber for Coyotes?

[Krivoman]

I have a 204 but it is a Thompson Center so single Shot. Would prefer a bolt action.

Your thoughts....

Man I love my .204 for yotes the 39gr blitzking and 40 gr vmax work them over pretty good out to 3-400 yards and little fur damage. The fast moving .22s work them over pretty good as well but I have been partial to the .204 and have yet to have one get up or run when hit in the chest.

You reload or off the shelf ammo only?

I like a 22-250 or a .223 because that is what I got lol.

22-250 is my pick, but any accurate centerfire from .17 cal on up, will work.

Hornady V-Max 32 gran. I love the gun and it hammers them. But is is a single shot and just looking for an easier reload for multiple shots. shot a Coyote on Sunday and it smoked him. Blew him to bits. it was impressive. Just wondering what else I could buy cheap to have a faster reload.

My recommendation is for a cz 527 American in your choice of calibers, mines a 223 and is by far my favorite rifle.

This right here is my suggestion then if you already have a .204 can continue to shoot the same ammo and they are great shooting guns. I like getting the heavier and longer barreled varmint version but either of the CZ527 rifles in .204 should for the bill.

If you are hunting in coyotes in competition use a 243, minimal tracking thus less time wasted dragging them/looking for them. Ride around caliber you don't care if they tote the bullet to the brush use .223 or 22-250 with v-maxes
