What your doing is confusing the cartridge with the bullet.
The 7mm Rem mag cartridge will only chamber and fire in rifles chambered for the 7mm Remington magnum.
There are lots of other rifle chambered for 7mm cartridges on the market that use the same 7mm (.284) diameter bullets such as:
7 by 57 Mauser
7mm-08
280/7mm express Remington
7 by 61 Sharp and heart
7mm Winchester Short Magnum
Ibob,
7mm Weatherby Magnum
7mm STW
7mm Remington Ultra-mag
and others.
As you can see there are lots of cartridges (assembled bullets, cases and powder) in the 7mm (284 Caliber). None of these will work in your 7mm Remington magnum even if they would fit in your chamber.
Your question actually should refer to what bullet wieghts would you use for shooting coyotes with your 7mm Rem mag. Several of the folks did answer that, but folks that shoot coyotes or any varmints for that matter usually use bullets on the lighter end of the spectrum for a specific caliber in a big game rifle.
For the 7mm Rem mag then light bullets in the 115 to 140 grain would probably work best. If you don't reload then your much more limited than if you made up your own. You will have to check around and see what is available. Probably cartridges in the 140 grain weight will be the most available.
Also like was stated any big game rifle will be highly destructive on animals as small as coyotes, especially if you hit a bone on the way thru.
Ibob,
You forgot the 275 H&H loaded by Winchester-Wesrtern in the 1930's. Even Jack O'Conner had a rifle in this caliber.
Not many have heard of it. Had a grand daughter sell her grandfathers rifle in at a local shop and she had 5 boxes of old factory ammo in this caliber. (275 H&H) The ammo is quite a collectors item.
