Contact Judman. He uses them in a 6mm AI.
Not sure about small critters but pretty sure he has used em a bunch on deer and a few elk. Probably other game animals but I am not sure.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Doesn’t take much to kill a coyote, ballistic tips don’t cause much exit damage that I’ve seen.

I use 70BT and 65 v max in my 240 wby. It’s fatal, fast.

I've killed my fair share of deer using a 70gr BT, I can't imagine that an 80gr would bounce off of a coyote.

3650 outta my 6 ai, hammers shiit. If your not worried about hides I’d run 55’s at 4000 FPS plus, fast, flat and fuucks stuff up. 👊🏻

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Obviously NOT the same bullet, but I’ve shot a few with 85’s out of a .25-06 at 3,400 and thought they were a bit “hard” (all yotes died, btw). Have a bud that shot a few smallish bucks with it and gets good exits on behind the shoulder shots.
It’s a crazy accurate bullet out of my Browning, but I want to see a mushroom cloud where the coyote stood.

True, I’ve killed plenty of deer and larger stuff with them out of my 257wby. That said, it doesn’t take much to kill a 30lb coyote, I don’t think I’ve found anything that won’t work.
