Congrats on the Coyote. Great picture. Thanks for posting.
Well I did end up working up a load for coyotes with 54.5 grains of reloader 23 and a 123 grain Nosler Custom Competition bullet velocity turned out to be 3155 ft./s. This is three shots at 100 yards the gray square is 1" ,The grid is 1/2inch
I think that you will enjoy that loading . I found that with my 6.5x284 it had a few MV's that it liked and grouped well . Years back I had a friend that bought a 1970 chivelle SS that had a 350 425 horse engine with a 4 speed tranny . it could run like a stripped ape but he normally didn't drive it very fast and told me just because I can go 120 mph doesn't mean that I should . My car will last longer if I don't but if the need is there so is the ability . I liked that saying so I borrowed it from him and remembered it and have used it several times over the years .
With that load I was seeing no pressure signs at all so I could go a little higher but like you mentioned I don't feel the need plus it is not 90° or higher in the middle of summer yet we will see what happens as the temperature rises

Just seeing this thread. Great work to both you guys!
An old trick I learned to keep my ammo next to my body in the winter in the box mag and put it in the sun some times in the summer if I needed to for more reach and speed but if your already running at max you want to think hard about putting it in the sun .
