.17 Hornet
.22 Hornet
.22-250
.223
.243

I would go with the .243 if you plan to hunt something larger than a prairie dog. All of the suggestions before are better for smaller game although all of them other than the .17 hornet are deer legal in my state. The .22-250 will shoot like a laser beam out past 250 yards although all of them will shoot level enough out to your 200 yard requirement. The .22-250 will tear prairie dogs into pieces.
