I purchased some 6mm 88 MTH Cutting Edge bullets. Pretty sure I can get them to 3350+ out of my 6 creedmoor. I know I can get 3400 out of 87 VMax. I would like to not have 2 different bullets for Yotes & Pigs.

Curious if anyone has shot the MTH at coyotes and has performance thoughts?

Thanks in advance
 
I run the 100 grain MTH from a .243 WIN at 3,230 fps from a 7 twist barrel and have shot quite a few pigs, deer, and antelope out to 670 yards and while it wouldn't be my first choice bullet for coyotes it kills them plenty dead with good exits when shot thru the chest but is not fur friendly at all, but I'm not letting a coyote walk when I have an opportunity.
The MTH has a solid bearing surface unlike many other monos that have relief grooves to lessen engraving pressure which gives more velocity.
Cutting Edge bullets run best at the lands, then from up to .005" off, 3rd best is between .020- .030" off
