Title basically explains it. What is you're favorite coyote pill that does not mess up the hide?

I'm running a 22-250 with hornady 52gr amax moving at 3810 fps, never had an exit wound. Never shot anything closer than 150 yards either.
 
On a sort of related note, those of you in BC who are concerned with pelt damage, where are you selling the dogs and how much are you getting (preferably whole) rather than just hide? skinning takes time which equates to money and if not done perfectly ruins any sale value.

I have seen people in the east quoting some very high numbers for dead yotes but no buyers out west here that I know of.
 
i have used 55gr soft points in my 223,100yds,chest shot and blew a big hole in a yote
i then used a 55gr fmj in the 223,140 yds,head shot,no exit wound.

55gr ballistic tipped 223 wrecks them
and 308 180gr ballistic tipped turns them inside out

I like the 60 Partition and 68 BTHP... but also shoot a fair amount of the 55 VM's due mostly to cost.
 
today I tried a 168 gr berger hunting vld out of my 308 @ 2700 fps. Shot the coyote at 10 yards, yes it came right into 10 yards. The bullet went in and didnt come out. Thought it would have but it didnt. Not sure if its normal for one not to exit a coyote but it did what they are suposed to do on big game and blew up inside.
