Looking at cartridges with .17 WSM as the minimum, and .223/5.56 as the maximum.

This would have, in approximate order:

.17 WSM
.17 Hornet
.17 Fireball
.17-223
.19 Calhoon Hornet
.19 Badger (Calhoon)
.22 Hornet
.20 Squirrel
.20 Mink
.20 Vartarg
.19-223 Calhoon
.20 Practical
.221 Fireball
.223

Am I missing any?

Which of these is the easiest to make? Obviously, the .17 Hornet is already done up. Looking for something to use on New England (large) coyotes 40-60 pounds, maybe more; but not far from homes, so noise is a factor. Range is anywhere from 30 yards to maybe 130 yards.

Also, how does one go about building or buying one of these? Or should I just get the .17 Hornet and be done with it?
