The 40g Sierra HP is a great bullet.
For bobcats and foxes we load down with Blue dot, 12g is around 3000 fps, accurate a plenty.
around 11.6g of Blue dot gets you into 2600 fps.
I found the accuracy node with the 40g Sierra and 40g Nosler at 3200 fps for 200 yards with 1 1/2" groups.
Many bullets will work on the coyote. 55g Winchester sp around 3000 fps does not penetrate a coyote on broadside shots, they just look like someone sucked the wind out of them.
For those of you that have not got into loading blue dot and 40g bullets-55g bullets, you are in for a real treat, not as noisy and clean every 600 rounds.
It is a good idea to weigh every charge with blue dot due to how the large flakes bridge in a powder measure.
