Personally, I favor .243 for coyotes at any range, but have found 7.62 x 39 to be surprisingly accurate, and have even taken prarie dogs out to 150 with it.

I think you can never go wrong with .223, and it is a wise choice as well. May I suggest the Varmit Hunter's Association, as it publishes the best magazine on long range shooting of any I have ever seen. Check out their web site. (Sorry, no URL)
