Rasbo, any full metal jacketed bullet should do fine.  If you do some searching on the internet, they should be easy to find.  I will let you know if I find anything that fits the bill.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I have a 243 and I always thought if I were to use it on coyotes and/or bobcats, I'd use the 85 grain Barnes tsx.

I don't know if you reload or not but hornady makes an 80gr fmj but don't make over the counter cartridges.  I kinda poked around for a fmj 243 round off the shelf and couldn't find anything so I just bought some bullets and reloaded them.

Nice thing about using the Barnes is they would still be legal for deer if you ever had to use it for that purpose.
