Question

What is a a good coyote hunting gun for 100 yards

Answer 1

.22-250 would be an ideal round, and give you plenty of speed and power for even longer range shots.

Answer 2

.22 mag. would work well, minimal damage.  

other than that .222,.223, 22-250, but still will do some damage.

Answer 3

If you aren't worried about the pelt, whatever's handy should do, as long as it's bigger than 22 LR. They aren't very big or robust animals, so there's no point in overthinking the problem.

Answer 4

I use a 22!*

Answer 5

At 100 Yd.s? Anything from .22 RF Magnum on up.

A 223 would be a good choice. Lotsa tham around.

Lotsa cheap surplus ammo too.

Answer 6

.22 Mag or LR would do at that range but a larger caliber would be better such as:

.222

.223

.243

.22-250

these calibers would serve you better in you coyote hunting adventures

Answer 7

Pretty much any rifle, from .22LR (shooting something like CCI Stingers) up to around a .30 caliber (though something like a .300 Winchester Magnum is going to be massive over-kill).  

Answer 8

My latest was taken from rooftop with a crosbow, but anything over .22 mag is great!

Answer 9

Basically anything will do for coyote.  At a hundred yards use at least a .223.  If you wish to keep the pelt use the FMJ ammo.  Head shots are best.

Answer 13

Your best choices are the 22 Magnum, 22 hornet, 218 Bee, 222, 22-250...* Pick one, anyone of them is adequate.*

Answer 14

For longer ranges i would get a 223. or a 22-250 but for closer ranges like 50 to 75 yards i would get a 12 gauge or even a 22. or 17 HMR
