I HATE a .223 for deer. It's just too darn small to be as consistent as what I want. For coyotes, great. For anything deer or big hog sized I'd rather have more punch. I've about quit taking tracking calls from .223's because you hardly ever seem to find them.
especially if using full metal jackets... |

You are correct with those full metal jacket 223. The new Hornady bullets are pretty good my son shoots a 223, and my daughter a 222. Between last year and this year they have knocked down around 20ish deer and didn't loose one all of them dropped in their tracks.

If your close to a Cheaper Then Dirt store try Bitterroot Valley Ammo. I've shot over 200 rounds of each hornady, bitterroot, Winchester, and Remington (55 grain) and find the BVA are just as good but cheaper, and hold true with other brands of ammo of same grain. Were the hornady have always shot high and right for some reason.

I hunt prairie dogs alot and have 4 rifles. Three 22-250s and a 223. If you hunt prairie dogs you are going to shoot lots of ammo. Generally I carry about 3,000 rounds with me on a hunt.
The 223 is the best choice because they are the most economical to shoot. The 22-250 is an excellent choice but much more expensive to shoot. Brass is high and it takes about 10 gr more powder for a charge. I can get 259 rounds per pound of powder for a 223 and 200 per pound for the 22-250.

Out of the three I'd pick the 22-250, but if I could pick any for what you describe I'd pick a .243.
Yup. Ive killed more hogs, coyotes, and time with a .243 than I can remember. |

22 250 is one of the fastest shooting deadly varmit guns if you use a hornady v-max. but a 204 is a very fast gun as well!
