Can't vote in your poll.  Not enough choices.   :-D   My number one predator/varmint rile is a my Ruger No. 1 in .22 Hornet.  Next to that is my Win. M70 Coyote in .223 WSSM.  Sorry but I have no pictures to try and post.  Don't have any luck posting pictures anyway.  I have tried over twenty times and have only gotten two or three to post.  Lawdog

Lawdog, I could really use your hornet as I have not taken anything over 85yds so far this year. Until then I will stick with the .22-250 with a VERY TOUGH bullet.

Here ya go.  this is a 3/8" 3-shot group at 100yds with my Handi Rifle 223 Bbl and my hand loads:


Here is my latest coyote kill with my 223.  It was taken at 100/120yds.  Shot just behind the should and exited clean just behind the other shoulder.  .224 caliber entrance wound and about a dime size exit wound.

I love the .223 Remington, shot lots of coyotes with it, but I now also have a TC Encore in 204 Ruger and it deserves a chance!

Now that Muzzle Loading season is over, I have my 204 all set up!
Checked it out today and I can put 3 shots inside a 44 caliber hole in my burn-barrel at 100 yards!  Checked it out this past summer and I can get 3 inside .330 on paper!

Going coyote hunting next weekend and hopefully the 204 will prove itself!
All I've shot with it so far is targets, one gray squirrel and one feral cat!
