'Yoter - I've shot probably close to 30 coyotes with Combined Technology BTs out of my 243 (95gr). I only had one that left an unacceptable (not salvagable hole). In my experience with the 243, as long as you stay away from the shoulder blades, almost anything will preserve the hide.

I have some Barnes XLCs that I loaded up a while back, but have never been fond of, still haven't shot them all yet. I have been thinking about trying out the TSXs someday as well. As of right now I have 100 Combined Technology BTs loaded up for deer, so I don't think I will do any loading for a while for deer.

If you want some coyote loads I have a few good ones worked up with 60gr Sierra HPs and Hornady 75gr HPs as well as 70gr Sierra Blitz Kings.
