I just worked up a nice load for my 14" TC Contender, using 125 Nosler Bullets. 18.4 grains W296, Winchester Small Pistol Primers, reformed 221 fireball brass, overall length-as long as I can, and still chamber the round and keep the bullet in the case.
This is maximum load, but shoots very flat. 2200 FPS out of my 14"barrel. Ballistics are that if you sight in 1 " high at 100 yards, it is only 5 inches low at 200 yards, and never is above the point of aim more than 1.1 inches.
Shot a 1 1/4 " 3 shot group at 100 yards with this load/gun.
I don't think you will be able to get a 150 to shoot that flat, and 125's should be plenty for coyote. I am going to try them on Deer next weekend.
Good Luck
Joel
