Question Which Caliber?

I'm hoping to get a Savage 11 this week, but have not decided on which caliber. It's going to be in .223/22-250 or a bit bigger .260/.243/.25-06. Would be mainly for coyote's with the possibility of wolves. I'm leaning toward the bigger calibers, due to the windy and open country I usually hunt, but is it overkill? Fur is not a concern, hence the 25-06 option, but is 22" barrel long enough to make it worth it over the other choices? I don't handload yet, otherwise I would seriously consider the 6.5 Creedmore. Any other calibers I should look at, other than the ones listed?
