With the 243, he damaged more pelts ( we typically called over bait) inside 100 yards than the others did, but unless he got way out there, the 243 did not give him any ballistic advantage.

This is why I recommend the .223.

My long range cartridges never did include the 243 but I have shot 'yotes with a few.
However, I have shot the 6mmRem , 7X57, 6.5X55, 308, and 300 mag extensi9vly at coyotes at ranges over 500 meters, but have killed way more inside 150 yards with the smaller cartridges, and have shot some inside 25 yards with the smaller stuff.
