6 of one and a half a dozen of another, a well placed shot of either will kill just as well
there are no magic calibers or bullets, they all have to hit vitals
killed and seen enough deer killed with about every caliber out there from .50 BMG down and see deer drop right there and RUN with same like shots and bullets/calibers
condition and IMO< mind set of animal matter, seen things run dead on there feet and seen things fall over hunt with arrows/broadheads?
IMO< Hunt with what you have confidence in and you can shoot well and on PAPER is up to the task, and put things where they need be, and your all good

NOW< since you mentioned coyotes here, I don't consider either of your choices good for coyotes if your looking at saving any hide! and IMO< are better calibers and bullet selections out there
But if JUST killing a coyote is goal, again, both bullets in the same spot will have about the same results, IMO< a dead coyote! a big hole too!
