Bullets for coyotes?

The only drawbacks I could come up with would be heavy for caliber, so not as flat of a trajectory, and being a match bullet maybe not as much expansion.

77 smk? 22 creed? Say hello to DRT coyotes and big holes. SMK are generally good for varmints and predator as they are frangible .
Then for your purpose the bullet you mentioned will do you just fine. Didn't want to get too far into the weeds on it if need not be.
16 to 20?
Few
Nearly 60 years old I don't get out as much as you younger guys! Also, they're getting harder to find where I hunt I wonder why?
I have not shot any 77g tmk on coyotes out of the creed. I would opt for a tipped 60, 69, or 77.
All of the hits with my 22/250 AI have been with 55g Sierras, lead tip& HP, and 60g Bergers.
I would expect runners/flippers at some distance when you did not hit shoulders, starting at 250 yards.
When you skin the britches off of a coyote, there is not much there, and for this reason, I opt for a lighter bullet with some speed. Speed Kills.
