When calling coyotes here in Nevada, a short range shot might be one sniffing your clothes. When we are calling, we don't carry rifles, my faviorite gun/cartridge is a .357 with a 110 grain bullet pushing 2000 fps. I also sometimes use a Colt Officers Model in .45 ACP (my carry gun). The longest shot I ever made when using a call was about 20 feet.
At longer range, like when we are just driving the dirt roads hoping to see a yote, I carry a Ruger 77 in .22-250. Not one of these so called "varmint rifles" but the standard sporter weight barrel.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.
