You can probably answer the question yourself by running a good ballistic calculator. Ans. The Creedmoor will always outrange the Grendel.
The Grendel will always have less recoil even when the Creedmoor is loaded down to Grendel velocities.
The coyote won't know the difference inside 225 yards. Past that you'll probably lase the 'yote and the difference in drop between the two is erased.
That leaves wind drift. The Creedmoor will reduce your wind drift by about 8% at 600 yards. The difference in a 10 mph wind for the 123gr AMAX is 0.4 moa. That is smaller than the group size for most of us, especially in variable winds.
Beyond that, which cartridge catches your fancy best?
