80g Sierra blitz bt are fabulous with a hot load of IMR 4064. If you like a heavier bullet, the 87g V max and Hornady 87g bthp with approx 37g of IMR 4064 both will be very accurate and deadly on coyotes. A close to max load of R#19 also works well with the 87's and 85g barnes tripple shock for deer.
Jay, I can not imagine what you are referring to in your statement, "In .243 I’d recommend staying away from any flat base bullets. So long as you do that you shouldn’t have any issues."
In my experience flat based bullets do a couple things that aren’t real conducive for being fur friendly. The heavier jacketed bullets hold together better because of thicker material around the base and tend to have large exits. Then on the other side of that coin the lighter jacketed bullets tend to blow out when I’ve hit shoulders. I’m not saying that this is true for every bullet or everyone else, it’s just my experience. But I guess I shouldn’t recommend much of anything or try to dissuade anyone from anything. Experience is about all anyone can go by.
