First off welcome to the forum.
I am guessing you mean 300 Win mag?
Now. Why the IMR4198 choice? It is a very fast powder not ideally suited for the 300 WIN.
The slowest you should be looking at is H4895/H414/IMR 4064.
Know if you're talking 300 savage that is different.

Welcome to the forum.
The 125 gr BT is pretty light in the 300 WM. What are you going to use it for?
IMR 4198 is too fast a powder. A slower burn rate powder like IMR 4350, RL 19, and H 4831 would be better suited for the big 300 WM case.

FWIW, the 125 gr BT is designed for impact velocities at 3000 fps and below. If you hit a shoulder blade on a deer, you may end up in trouble. I would recommend a 150 gr AB as the lightest bullet for deer.

I've shot a number of deer with 125 Ballistic Tips out of a .30-06. It produced great results through the rib cage, but on bone performance was pretty ugly. It always worked for me, but made quite a mess at times. I've since matured in my bullet selection.
The 125's will work, just know what you're getting into, especially out of a .300.
I see no problem using them for coyotes.

If your wanting to shoot a mid load, try some H4895. It is a better powder for the reduced loads and should be able to get something decent out of it. 4198 is very fast for the big jugged 300..
Check out Hodgdon's reduced loads on their site, they should have data for a 125-130 with H4895.

I would definitely advise against pursuing this particular course for the following reasons: poor case fill; potentially dangerous pressure spikes at inopportune times; poor bullet performance at the velocities generated. Those cautioning you are giving you sound advice in an effort to avoid disappointment.

Too light for the high vel 300 WM.
For deer a good bonded 150gr AB or E Tip with 75.0 of IMR 4350 makes a very good long range deer load.
Meat damage can be excessive with light bullets.
The 150gr TSX would make a very good bullet also.
