Good story. Got any pics?
I'm in the market for a coyote gun. I can't decide between the 223 or the 243. Why did you pick the 223?

Ruger480, Thanks, sorry I don't have any pictures.
As for rifles I have several to choose from in 223, 22-250 and 243.
However the rifle I go to most often is the 223 bolt gun I used to take this coyote.
It's a Savage 10/110 with a 20 inch heavy barrel and large bolt handle.
A distributor I do a lot of business with had these made, they called them a 4x4 truck gun.
This rifle shoots 5/16th inch groups at 100 yards consistently with my handloads, so I have a lot of confidence in it.
As for which caliber you should choose, any of the three I listed above will serve you well in an accurate rifle.
Another plus for the 223 is it burns less powder then the other two I listed and with good handloads you can get the velocity up there where you need it.
Good luck out there coyote hunting.
Best Regards
