What would you build????

Of those three I would chose 22-.243 due to availability of brass and not having to fire form

I may know where there is one you can hunt with in Nov

I'd have to agree with Brad. Seems logical.

20-22" is what I'm looking at
 
would like to have a 22x47L, not sure how many steps necking down and neck turning I'd have to do. I want to keep it as simple as possible.
 
Tim I do it in one step
I bought a .243 Neck bushing die and the appropriate bushing (also bought .22 decapping rod and expander) and do a simple neck size. Then load and shoot
 
22-243 shooting jlk 52 grain low drag bullets(BC .310) shooting 4100 fps, mine has a 25 inch barrel (speeds would be slower with 22").

that sounds pretty cool.
 
22x47L, 1-7/1-8 twist, 20". 1-7 twist if you think you might want to shoot the Berger 90s.Run 80.5 Berger fullbore at 3300 fps.
Great choice with the harvester but might look at the SAS Barricade as well.

Probably not a Barricade but maybe a EADROM. I want a can I screw on this gun and never switch between guns. I already have 2 supressors.

true it would.

BC is higher on the 22 caliber 75 gr amax though.
 
.435 vs .400 claimed bc and I imagine the 22 being Harder on the barrel also possibly, but wouldn't matter much on a coyote rifle. I believe the 6x47 is a straight neck down.

I'll likely be chopping my 6.5 x47 short and dedicating a supressor to it.
 
They both are straight neck downs, .021 on the 6x47 and .019 on the 22x243. I already have a 6x47 but its heavy. I've toyed with the idea of a lightweight one.

300-400 yards that BC difference won't be a factor.

I plan on shooting the gun alot further, that just seems to be my average long shot on a coyote typically.
