Amazing my 6x284 loves 70gr Nosler BT but not 75gr V-Maxs. I have 2 100 bullet boxes of Hornady 75gr V-max I'll trade for equal amount of Nosler 70gr BT ?
 
I presume that you've tried both these bullets at various seating depths since they have different ogive shapes. I used to have problems getting Hornady bullets to shoot well in live varmint rifles, but after I adjusted seating depths mostly they shot as well as any other mass production bullets and better than some.
 
Throat erosion

I also shoot 87gr V-Max and seating the 75gr V-max at same depth as 87 wouldn't work. Why? ( When the BBL was new I could)Because not enough bullet in case neck. Yet the Nosler's work fine. Besides I'm pushing those 70 gr Nosler's at average 3,833 along with getting consistent 1/4 MOA. There not a coyote in the world that will like that load.
 
The Hornady's are pointier than Noslers and Sierra's usually and you'll run out of bullet shank with the Hornady's before the others. The Ballistic Tips work like hand grenades on prairie dogs, and should do the same on coyotes. :D
 
Thought I was nearing end of barrel life but ?

I know for certain I have throat erosion. But then I tried these Nosler 70 gr and wow! Much better accuracy I ever achieved then with any other bullet.
