I wouldn't shoot at coyotes beyond 200 yards with a .223 rifle. I own an AR and a bolt action rifle in .223 and although I can easily hit targets at over 300 yards, I feel they lack the downrange energy to effectively kill coyotes beyond 200 yards. MHO and I'm sticking to it.
Coyote 6974
I and others will respectfully disagree! I have a confirmed coyote kill at 1200 yards with a .223. Was it luck, [beeep] straight, was the coyote dead, [beeep] straight.. Do I advocate and always shoot that way, nope.
