The subject of "what is the best round for coyotes" has been covered several thousand times but I am curious what everyone's favorite wildcat cartridge is for coyotes. I have another thread going about a lightweight calling rifle that I want to put together and I am starting to lean towards doing something that I can't just run to an outdoor store or walmart and grab ammo off the shelf. I am also leaning towards something that puts them down REAL hard. So what is your favorite?

It is a coin flip right now. Either the 6mmwoa or my 20pr from woa. I am hoping to get to the range and see how the 17-223 from Ritch does with a BHW barrel on it. It showed some great potential earlier.
 
When I first started out a 22-250 was a wildcat, but I didn't start using one until it was factory round, I still use it.

My favorite pelt hunting cartridge is a wildcat, the 22-204 running 40gr NBT's at 3950 out of a 22" barrel.

My 6mm-204 and 6x45mm have both proven to be great rounds for hunting coyotes with 55gr NBT's and BK's running 3700fps out of a 24" barrel on the 6mm-204.

I've been playing with some oddball factory rounds that have proven to be up to the task, a 5.6x50R Magnum(222 Rem Mag lengthenned 3mm with a Rim), 22 Savage HP/5.6x52R(30-30 Win necked to .228) and a 6.5x58R Sauer(obsolete before WW-II)

L-R,
22-204, 5.6x50R Mag, 22-250, 5.6x52R, 6x45mm, 6mm-204, 6.5x58R Sauer.

243-250, has sort of a ring to it, sounds like pseudo-coordinates for upscale café.

It's been around a long time called the 6mm International, factory chambered in the Rem 40X.
