Coyote loads for .243 winchester

85gn TSX.  You'll always get an entrance and an exit but the exit is rarely larger than a golf ball, exception being an exit out the paunch.  A paunch exit is ugly no matter what you use though.

I'm using hornady 87gr both hpbt and v-max, with the hpbt's they will sometimes run a bit before going down but don't think I've ever had one go 75 yards.  The v-max are great if you can stay away form the edges.  I will say that I don't remember shooting one inside of 75 yards with a v-max  The v-max provides instant death, coyotes shot at 400 yards have dropped without a twitch and without an exit hole. :)

Best way to avoid an exit completely is to use 55 or 58's going fast, else use something that sticks together like the TSX Clay recommended.

i have used the 60 grain federal premium varmint load for the 243 and would not recommend it.  It is a hollow point which even makes it worse.  If you hit the shoulder bone you are probably going to lose the dog with this load.  I would vote on Horseagers choice.

i've got 2 boxes of 55 grain winchester supreme ballistic silvertips for my .243 that i bought last spring on sale and was excited to use for fox and yote killin.  but, i can't get them to group worth a darn and am pretty sure it isn't the loose nut behind the scope cause my other cheap factory loads in the 80-105 grain range group nicely.  on the plus side, the only yote i've shot at dropped in its tracks quartering away on a dead run at about 125 yards and there wasn't an exit wound.  i suspect the lack of an exit wound isn't going to be common place tho w/ them especially at closer ranges.  but, i ain't no ballistic expert.  they are speedy little rounds... i think they come out of the barrel at around 3900-4000 ft/s if i remember right.  if i could get them to group worth a darn, a zero at about 150 would make them very shooter friendly out to 300.  wish i knew what my problem was w/ the grouping tho.  probably need to give her a good cleaning or else those are just too light for what i think is a 22" 1:10 twist barrel.  any suggestions? 

Anybody shot any yotes with Barnes' Varmint Grenades?   I worked up some loads but haven't got around to try them, even on p rats!

I use Nosler 55 grain ballistic tips. I use H-380 powder, You can find the load in Nosler's #4 reloading guide or send me a message and I will tell you what I use. It is a compressed load so be carefull working up to it.

I shoot 58 grain V-Max's out of my 243 wssm. They are fast and dont damage them at all

Tear them up there only worth 5-7 bucks LOL..
