Best caliber for hunting coyotes
A question that gets asked all the time is what caliber is the best one for coyote hunting. There is no “right” answer. Are you looking to just drop coyotes? Or are you trying to be fur friendly? Also are you shooting 100-200 yards or 500-600 yards? For me, I shoot up to 350 yards and I do not care about fur so I use a 6.5 grendel. I get a lot less runners than 223 so it’s working great for me! What does everyone else use?

6.5 Grendel is an excellent caliber for where we hunt in the hills of PA! Looking forward to trying out my new 6mm Creedmoor!
I built a 300 blackout for coyote and boar hunting it is suppressed and use subsonic it is a great shooting gun for I think pretty much anywhere what u all think...
Marky, I personally do love the .300 Blackout, but quickly learned that it has its flaws, like anything else. You are limited on range, especially at the subsonic speeds.
