I have a 22 CM with a 1-8 twist. It like the 80 eld's and I think the 55vmax, I am tempted to try the53 Vmax or 69 TMK's . For Coyotes what do you all recommend?

Hornady 62 grain ELD-VT works great in my 22 Creedmoor. A few posts from another thread. Has worked great on coyotes, hogs, and a bobcat too.

I shot a few coyotes with the 77 grain TMK out of a 22-250 and they were devastating! I’m sure the 69 TMK will be the same. If you want to save fur the TMKs might not be the best option.
I’m in the same boat as you right now with a new 22 CM. I’m going to shoot 77 TMKs for deer and try for 62 ELDVTs for coyotes.
If it likes the 80gr ELD-M why not just stick with that? If you want to shoot something lighter Hornady's new 62gr ELD-VT could be a good option and though it's only slightly lighter the 75gr ELD-M is a proven killer that always seems to shoot really well too.
I'm a big fan of the 53gr Vmax and been using them in my 9tw 223 AI and 12tw 22-250 since Hornady very first came out with them. Those two rifles love that bullet and they've been a coyote killin sob but if my 22-250 had a 8tw I'd be shooting a heavier bullet. I shoot those 80gr ELD-M's in my 224 Terminator at 3650 and that thing stacks those bullets up into tiny little groups.
Since your 22 CM wears an 8tw barrel I'll assume it was likely throated for the heavy or heavier 22 cal bullets so the lighter and shorter bullets may end up jumping quite a bit and some bullets and guns aren't always that fond of a long jump so that's something to keep in mind as well.

Nice! I heard a lot of mixed reviews on them. Some guys say they work great. Others say they have a lot of splashes

My 18" custom built 22 Creed stacks 64 Tipped Game Kings. Mines a 7 twist and I've never had an issue
How fast they going?

69tmk’s and 39.0gns of Varget are pure magic. Does 3510 in 20” 8tw and 9tw bbls.
What load are you using? Just picked up some 64gr TGK's for my 22 creed
