If I were to load my .30-06 for coyotes and intend to save the pelts, the bullet would be something in the 147-155 grain full metal jacket range. No expansion, just in and out, with no bigger of a hole than it went in with.

BTW- I don't load the .30-06 for coyotes because I have my .223 so it would be pointless in my situation, IMO.
