22. vs 25. for long range accuracy

I live in southeast Arkansas, no shortage of deer, no shortage of coyotes, rabbits are scarce due to current agricultural practices. Rats abundant in the corn, bean and ricefields. I suspect that a coyote eats many more rats than anything else as they are plentiful and a no risk prey animal. Would I shoot a coyote if given a reasonable chance? Of course, but give the devil his due. He is an important balancer in the system.
 
I still love my .25s. The only caveat to all this is you have to spend some coin to get a .22 cal gun that will produce that power efficiently and accurately. The .25 and .30 can get more power on a budget so to speak.
Not really the fx synthetic drs slinging 40 gr slugs at 900 ish fps have quite a punch also and one of my higher powered 22 cals though
