Default Exit wounds and bullet choice

Howdy folks.

Wanted some opinions on bullets.

For coyotes I use a CZ 527 Varmint in .223 This last saturday I shot this coyote witha 50gr ballistic tip



It was looking at me sitting at an angle, the bullet went in the chest just left of center at about 50 yards.

I should have shot him in the head but I didnt think about that till I saw the exit hole. Any suggestions to what bullet might not make such a mess.

BTW I shoot the 50 gr ballistic tip because I found it to be the most accurate for my gun.

I know the 55 gr FMJ might be a viable option but I got a 1:12 twist and the 50 gr shoots better.
