Default RE: My new 7# .243! Now which load?

or the 85gr Barnes TSX? near 100% weight retention...

Wondering if either of these would be good for both the coyotes and antelope? Wasn't looking to blow right through either...

Anyone have any experience with any of the above on coyotes? antelope?
I'm thinking the barnes tsx won't expand much and just blow right through, but maybe the 90gr scirocco's will expand and stay together a bit better, but would they work well on coyotes too? would they blow right through both antelope and a coyote?
Go to the following link and see for yourself if the TSX will expand. The video shows a .308 cal TSX hitting 10% ballistics gel at 2900 fps. The bullet fully expands in less than 2" of penetration. Barnes TSX High Speed Video
