I’ve used the 17 rem for a lot of years now, the 25gr Hornady HP is what I’ll stick with for coyotes. Kick them up to 4000+ and you’ll like them better, still fur friendly. I still use IMR 4320 or WW760 in mine.
That said if you shoot enough you’ll still get a coyote that wear it like a champ, pretty rare though unless it’s a really bad shot.
The Vmax 20 or 25 grain is no good on them, I tried,don’t bother! but great for Fox or splat factor on ground squirrels. The old Berger MEF was was even better than the Vmax at that.
