Trigger Control, Breathing, sight alignment. 

400 yards is best with the .223, 6 inch steel target. Shooting stix is more practical, prone is dead-on. I even go to 500 and 600 yards prone. If you can consecutively hit at those ranges, closer stuff is cake. I've infected some friends too.

Practice helps, I hit my deer this year, in the neck, as it was looking back at me at 526 yards, as I was kneeling. I loaded one round in the chamber for that shot.

If you really want to get better at shooting coyotes on the run, try putting cardboard in an old tire and roll it down a hill.  You should also never stop calling at them, 9 times out of 10 they will stop you just have to be ready.  Good luck

My uncle would get in a back of a truck when he was younger his other two brothers. 1 would drive 1 with a shotgun and 1 with a .243. they would drive through hayfields and pasture and the farmer would pay them for whatever they got if they were causing problems
There's more than one way to skin a cat, but that cat won't like any of them...
