I don't even know of a place that you can get ammo. for the .204 with FMJ bullets, which is good, because you shouldn't use them for coyote hunting purpose anyways. If you reload, teh 35 or 40 gr. bergers are the cats meow on coyotes. I've shot a couple truck load of coyotes with them and they work great. If you don't reload, just have to find one of the v-max or blitz king bullets are are accurate out of your gun, and then avoid the shoulder on the coyote because those bullets have a history of lack of penetration when they hit bone.
The .204 is a great coyote killing caliber. FMJ bullets are not great coyote killing bullets.
