I know this question has been hashed out on dozens of sights but I want to know what you guys think. I have a Stevens 200 .223 in Camo that shoots great- I am currently pondering selling it though in order to get the same or similiar gun in .22-250. I shoot coyotes and I am finding that at times the coyotes hang up at 300 to 400 yards and I am having to do alot of ballistic drop equations. In my area, there is a Navy Base close by so there are alot of hunters and the coyotes are pretty call shy. Does the .22-250 have more ability to buck the wind? I am not too concerned about barrel life because I only shoot coyotes about 3 times a month in the prime fur season. I do not reload so I know that the .22-250 will cost about twice the amount for ammo- the premium coyote rounds such as Hornady V-MAX only cost about $2 more for the .22-250.
What do you think? Which one do you prefer?
I am willing to consider a .243 in the mix but I allready have a .25-06
