6.5 bullets for coyote

Hi guys. Long-time member here but I haven't been on the board in a while. Hope I'm still welcome here. 🤔
Question for those with more 6.5 cal. experience than I have... I've been primarily a .308 guy for most of my deer hunting and have several rifles so chambered. A year or two ago, I decided I wanted a lightweight, synthetic stock, SS rifle in a middle of the road chambering for a do-all rifle. I wound up with a Kimber in 6.5 CM and mounted a Leupold VX5 3-15x. I've worked up loads for deer hunting with 125 grain Nosler Partitions, but would like to also work up a good coyote load (that hopefully will shoot to a relatively similar POA). The only lighter weight bullets I have are some 95 grain V-Max. Anyone with experience with those? What other lighter weight 6.5 bullets should I look at?
P.S. fur-friendly is not a concern here in the South.
In my 6.5 Grendel, I have begun to experiment with the Barnes TSX in 120 grain bullets. I love the way they perform and have three different loads worked up. I’m just waiting for a calm morning to head to the range and see if my rifle likes any of them. More to come…
