270 go with a heavier grain bullet for bigger game and a lighter for smaller. Plus you have the option to hunt bigger game with it than you would a 243

When you through yotes in the mix then I would say that the 260 would be my choice.
Study on that caliber for a bit, its rather impressive. You can load a 140 for everythig from hogs to moose, and drop down in weight for some serious coyote whackin.
America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards. Claire Wolfe

For deer and hogs, I'd agree with .270 or similar. It's a bit much for coyotes, though, if you want to minimize pelt damage and may be shooting them at relatively close range. If you don't care, then just go with whatever deer-appropriate cartridge suits your fancy. They'll all work on hogs.
