I was wondering what your favorite caliber is for pred. hunting. Ive seen some 223's and smaller but wanted to know what else was being used.

Fox and cats it's a 22 hornet, and for coyotes it's a 243. But if I could only use one gun for all predators, it would be a 223.

Beman 400 carbon arrow with a Muzzy three blade broadhead. That is only when I really want a challenge, but seriously it would be the .22-250

Any center fire from .17 caliber up to .25 caliber willdo a good job.

I have a few favorites depending on wheather and hunting situations.
Calm days no windshots out to 250 yards .17 hornet.22 hornet or .17 rem and over 250 yards.17 rem,.204 ruger, .223 or .22-250
Days with a lightbreeze.204 ruger, .223, .22-250or .243

243

I've shot alot of dogs with 223s, and wouldn't be scared to make that my all-time gun, but on the real windy days the 243 really shines.
