I like my 6x45 in AR platform for Coyotes. 70 gr Speer TNT is a wonderful bullet in that application.

I always also have my Benelli loaded with Dead Coyote with "T" shot it will put 45 pellets in a 30" circle at 50 yards. Yeah, those Dead Coyote loads are bad to the bone. What choke seems to work best? DF

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

223 is never the wrong choice. Fur a concern? But the 223 made the top 5 most overrated That's my go too choice with the 53 gr tsx it's deadly..

I'd look at the 6MM stuff. Sure is fun picking off those "barkers" out there at 600+ meters. While I've used an AR-15 type platform extensively, my favorite for putting the smack down on dogs is the 6mm Remington. I run 85 grain Sierra hollow point game kings at 3430 from a custom Tikka.
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL. The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world. The website is up and running!www.lostriverammocompany.com

What load(s) do you favor in .308?

I'd say the caliber that rests just above my trigger finger at the time I see one! I've taken them with a 12ga., 270win (I know, a little under powered), and my regular favorite the 22-250. Have yet to take one with my 7-08.
For what the OP outlined, I'd go 223, 22-250, or a 204.
