I've never tried them, but the Barnes 90 grain solid always seemed like a heck of a bullet for coyotes out of a 25-06 if you're worried about hides.

The fact is, last winter coyotes were barely worth enough money to warrant skinning. So, I used a 270 with 100 grain Speer HPs. Exit wounds were LARGE. Twas an excellent way to practice with my big game hunting rifle.
