.243 is the best coyote gun in my opinion. It shoots flat, absolutely wallops coyotes at any range and recoils very little. If you can hit the coyote hes a goner. Try calling them in and give a little whistle or something at 200 yards. Theyll stop and you can pelt them.

I am currently shooting coyotes with a .270 but that is a bit of overkill. My next coyote gun will likely be a BAR left-handed .243. Firepower...fast.

A good fast handling gun that you shoot well with a 3-9X scope and a good call is all that is needed to knock off serious numbers of coyotes.
