69gr Sierra matchking

From what I'm being told these bullets will fly the best out of my .223 with a 1/9 twist but has anyone used these on coyotes?

My 223rem has a 1 in 9" twist,and the 69gr Matchking is far from the most accurate bullet in my rifle.Try a few different bullets,and let your gun show you which bullet it is most accurate with.

x 2 on this, its hard to say whats the best, the twist rate on the box is "recomnded" my rifle is a 1:12 with a 52gn bullet (recomnded 1:14)and 26.0 gns varget i get the exact same resuslts as a 60gn (1:10) bullet and 25.2gn varget... both shoot extrreamly well at 100yds, past that the 60gn seems to do better, but with less powder and heavier bullet it drops oiff much faster then the 52gn its trial and error, recommended doesnt always mean the best
 
x3 on the 69 gr Sierras....After many trials of different bullets and powder loads, my first 3 shots with the 69 grainers was stupendous to say the least. I only had the chance to try 3 as my range buddy only had 3 at the time as he shoots them too. Since I now have a good supply and loaded more, the gophers and coyotes do not like me . My Savage is also a 1 in 9 twist.
 
I have used them on coyotes. Not spectacular. The Nosler 69 BTHP's seem to have better terminal performance. The PRVI 69 grain match bullets are very accurate and seem to really hammer the coyotes too.
