A .22 mag will suffice out to @ 50 yards with correct bullet placement. Beyond that range any .22 center fire [.222, .223, 22-250,] or .243 / 6mm works well. Anything above 25-06 is a bit messy. If you intend to keep the pelts, use dental floss and a surgical needle to sew the bullet holes before stretching / tanning.

Out here(SD) we use a .243 or bigger...Although my boyfriend killed one with a 12-gage. He caught it in the stack yard one morning.

Anything above 25-06 is a bit messy. So my old .303 is overkill unless I don't mind big holes. But the coyote probably minds them more than I do.
