What bullet would you pick for simply killing coyotes with a .243? Fur preservation is not a concern.

The 58 gr VMax works fine. I chose it for the 84M Montana as I was walking around quite a bit and ready for shots where ricochets were a concern.

just got 1000 Speer 70 grain TNTs....

TNTs are always accurate... even much better than Speer's "Match Bullets" in my experience...

If bucking the wind at longer distances is in the cards, run the above, especially the 87 VMax.

Agree.
The TNT's were an overlooked bullet for years.....they were inexpensive and extremely accurate. Glad i hoarded many of their plastic ammo boxs.
