6XC with 65 to 75gr Bullets

I just setback and rechambered a Kimber Montana 243 to 6XC. I am wanting to shoot lighter bullets for coyotes. What bullets and powders are you all recommending. I have a 19" barrel with a suppressor.
 
I've got a 26" 10 twist 6xc that I use as a walk around varmint and predator rifle. On the 68-75gr bullets I use either R15 or 4895 over Remington 9 1/2 primers. The 75gr Vmax don't always exit on coyotes. WD
 
I will be developing a load for my 6xc using 70ish grain bullets soon-I hope, if time is on my side. Am using WW 760 with 95grain Berger HVLD's for deer. Quickload shows 760 as working pretty well with the 70's as well as IMR4320. Predicted velocity is over 3600 with bot of those out of a 24" barrel. Shorten that to 19 and you lose 200 FPS. ymmv
