.22-250 vs .223 for eastern coyote hunting

[spotstalkshoot]

If a factory rifle and factory ammo, it may take several attempts to find acceptable accuracy. With ammo costs, I would test more(buy different ammo) for a 223 than a 22-250. Plus you can practice more with the 223, as you can get 40-50 rds for the price of 20 22-250.

im goin 22-250 to help on poor hits and to be flatter shooting on a longer shot.
However, 243 would trump both of those.

Just wondering what the best twist rate is for the 22-250? I’ve seen older rifles with 1-14.

200 yard max? Just get a 223. More factory ammo availability and longer barrel life. 223 is plenty good to 200 yards

And a whole lot cheaper ammo if he doesnt reload
