i know what the 22 250 will do to coyotes out to 300 yrds i took the gun to the range Monady the 223 and shot it and i like it alot i want to start dog hunting with it some my Q is will this load do good on a coyote out to 250 to 275 yrds i like the little gun because when you shoot it the target dont move out of your scope VM  :roll:

I will answer your question in one word!     "ABSOLUTELY"!


You will probably even find yourself using it out to further distances!

If it's just a lighter loading you are seeking, just change the powder and charge to take your 22-250 to 223 performance.

Hi i was thinking about using 223 because all it is doing is catching dust in the gun rack i can pick the places i hunt to keep the shots under 300 yrds if i use the 223 and the load and at that range do you think that is a good load that will put a dog down good VM

varmit_master. I too own both a .22-250 and two .223's. I never shot a coyote with the .223, but have killed several deer at 200 yards, so I can't see why it wouldn't work, as long as the wind isn't blowing too bad. In my experience the difference between these two rounds is the .22-250 has about 100 yards more range. In other words 300 yard performance with the .22-250 is the same as 200 yards with the .223.
