Default Bullet selection for coyote w/ 22-250?

I' ve been trying to get a handle on the best type of bullet to use for coyote from a 22-250. I' m a little confused about the tradeoff between killing power and pelt damage. It seems that some recommend using a harder non-expanding bullet to minimize pelt damage but then one' s creating TWO bullet holes in the pelt, while it would also make sense to select a fragmenting bullet that would stop inside without an exit wound like a V-Max or such, but I worry about no creating a deep enough wound to reach the coyote' s vitals.

Please suggest not only the right type of bullet (i.e. hard vs. frangiable) and also the specific make and model of bullet that fits the bill (i.e. V-Max, Failsafe, etc...).

Thanks,

Mike
