The 22/250 will have more energy at close range, but the 204 Ruger will beat it at ranges over 250 yards. That is perfect in my book for hunting coyotes, I wish I had a 204 when I was pursuing them in AZ. I also found the 24 inch 22/250 I had was too noisy, when I switched to a 26 inch Remington 223 VS I called in a lot more doubles, and it killed them just as dead, or deader. Had a streak going back in 1996 when I killed 30 coyotes with 30 bullets, no misses, no flopping around.
