I'm looking for something that can pack a punch, but still make it out to distances up to 400 yds. or so (if possible more). I've looked at several rounds, and just don't have the experience or expertise to make a decision. I don't want any thing too fancy (or rare). Don't have reloading gear, and don't want to drop 40$/box. Looking to shoot coyote, coon, fox, (maybe even deer with this), as well as target shooting here in the Central U.S.
The main reason I'm having trouble making a decision, is I don't know if I want to get something with a lower velocity. Want to keep a flat trajectory.

Looked into 22-250, 308, even 30-06. I just don't know.

Any tips/advice/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
