ya think this is a bit much?

[.444 Marlin]

So I've got a .223 in layaway with 100 brass ready to be loaded but the gun ain't paid off...so.

I'm conjuring up loading some .30 cal 125gr nosler NBT at or around or somewhere between 2900-3200fps for groundhogs and coyotes. Shots won't be more than 200yd if that so velocity ain't a big deal.

nope
just load up around 10 rounds of each one you want, to see whay she likes. plus you still have to break it in.

I`d give RL15 a run and see if that works. Varget should too. You can go much faster powders in the 06 with lighter pills.

Just loaded up 10rnd of 125gr NBT over 56.5gr of IMR4350. Book speed is 2943fps but ill drag out the chrony when I get to the range.

A coyote will not know the difference between 3500 fps and 2900 fps, I promise. I would shoot the groundhogs with a 22 magnum.
