Our bread and butter roe deer is rather small.
I guess close to your coyotes?
For them, I definitely want sub moa and I don't let anyone go out with ammo I load if it doesn't meet that. I do it with a 6,5 Creedmoor Savage
On the other hand, my Tikka in 30-06 was able to produce fantastic...
Within reasonable distances, the TTSX will open without having to hit the shoulder.
At closer distances,you might loose a petal or two, if you hit hard bone with that speed. These might take a strange path and ruin a bit more meat.

I talked my the husband of my girlfriend's cousin into a Bergara timber and since a savage we agreed on didn't make it over the pond, she chose a ridge. Both 308 and my handloads seem to work well.
They kinda know what they are doing!
Well.
