22/50 ( Remington model 799) is my favorite for coyote, and 243 (Remington 798) is a close second.
.223 either from an AR or a Howa 1500

Next time I go out think I will take a 221 fireball
Personally I prefer the 22/250
.223 works awesome as well though.

223.

I like a .223 in a AR with a flush mount magazine. The high capacity ones make the rifle cumbersome and get on my nerves.
I was looking at putting together an ar for coyotes. My uncle has me leaning towards 6.5 Grendel. He is loading for it and has a ton of supplies to keep loading.
I was/am wanting a Grendel and was about to buy a upper right when the ammo shortage started happening. Now that you can't find ammo or even a upper that I like, it's been pushed to the back burner.

When I go to call I carry my rock river 20 inch varmint, in 223 wylde, it is a heavy rifle but extremely accurate. When walking checking traps outside deer season I carry something lighter, usually either my dpms 16 inch carbine or one of the rifles I built that has a prairie panther barrel, also in 223. During deer season carry whatever I am hunting with, and will shoot yotes on sight with whatever I happen to have in my hands at that time.
