At least coyote season is year round. Speaking of, what is a reasonable caliber to use on coyotes (as in kills but not totally mutilates)? I was thinking of using the Sig, but don't know if the .223/5.56 is enough to take one down. If not, I can use the Weatherby.

.223 is a very common Coyote round, I have a friend who uses nothing but a 20" AR for Coyotes. A light round is actually preferable as to not damage the pelt. I have toyed with 110 gr. .30 calibers, but I think I'll just use a FMJ or match bullet of a heavier weight for Coyotes. The one .30 cal bullet I tried (speer 110 gr hollow point) has a balistic coefficient that is less than any of my .357 or 9mm bullets I use lol. the bullet drops 5 feet between 300 and 400 yards, out of a .300 win mag. Would be fine up to those ranges though.
