204- 39 grain SBK has shot a lot of coyotes for me and so far no splashes and no exits
22-250- 50 grain vmax
243- 75 grain Hornady HP and 75 grain Vmax:
These are my all time favorites. They hit like a cement truck and flatten the yoties with authority. I'm shooting these at 3560 FPS from the .243 and I am working up loads for these bullets in my 6MM AI. Hoping to hit 3900 FPS with the vmax.

I am fairly new to reloading my own ammo, but if your v-max is behind your powder you may be doing it wrong
haha, I kid... but I too have had great luck with just about any 50-60 gr Hornady and Varget powder. My best yet is the Hornady 55 gr. Spire Point and 24 gr. or Accurate 2230 though... Same hole @ 100yds for 2 or 3 rounds out of my M77 MKII. Its not blazing fast, but it will put anything Whitetail sized and under on the ground in a hurry.
I currently slingin 53gr v max's over 25.5gr benchmark. I have killed many Yotes DRT with 40gr v max, i like the wind bucking capabilites of the 53's better.
