As I've posted in another thread, I'm looking at getting into calling coyotes.
OF COURSE this means I'm in the market for a new rifle. Everything I have now is a 30-06 or 308, which will do for the time being, but I'd like for it to be a viable choice for deer also. 22 centerfires are illegal for big game in Washington, so I'm thinking 243, 6.5 Creedmoor, or 7-08 moving light bullets at warp speed.
Or should I just handload a super-light .308" bullet in an existing rifle?
Thoughts?

John, in the 308 between 49-52g of Win 748 with a 125g Nosler BT simply drills bug holes, switch out to the 125g Accubond for deer. Varget also works in this combo. Speer makes a 130g TNT that is more explosive than the 125g Nosler that we found to be amazingly accurate, just detonates coyotes.
Don't forget the 125g Nosler Accubond, they kill deer very, very well.
Stay familiar with the same rifle, buy more components, and perhaps a custom barrel. Switching barrels is very easy, no kidding.
