i shoot 55 grain nosler ballistic tips. not all plastic tipped bullets are the same. most of the time i dont need to sew a big mess. I put them over 35 grains of IMR 4895. You can go little more powder if you like but my rifle likes that amount.

For deer I shoot 55 grain sierra game kings. will shoot the same as the Noslers in my rifle. Shoot the same load too. Pick your shots. They can go a long ways if you miss the heart , bottom of the lungs, spine, or brain. My rifle is accurate. If they are standing still its no problem.

Stay off of the shoulder bone and avoid shots from the front or running away will save you some sewing.

Thanks for all the help. I知 leaning to 40-55 grain hollow point. I use the cheap white box Winchester 45gr HP and see very little damage to coyotes with my .250 and they are very accurate for me with my Tikka.

I run the 55 grain softpoint gameking 1365 in my 250 with ar comp powder 3750fps avg. Another bullet that I have had good success with is the sierra's 52 grain matchking I ran it with imr 4064 3520fps avg. So far I like the 55grain softpoint I dont have to be as picky about my shot with regard to the shoulder bone. J

Lot of options if you handload, if not, stick to a stouter buildt hollow point or soft point. If handloading, the Sierra 55 grain softpoint is my go-to to..
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You can literally hear two bangs when shooting coyotes with the 22-250...one when you pull the trigger and one when it whops a coyote way out in the field. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

52gr Sierra match hollow point. Little hole in and jelly on the inside X2but the bullet seems to have travel about 50 yds. or so to warm up or they are very hard on fur.

Not sure how they do on yotes but I have had good luck with 55 grain blitzkings. Very accurate and destroy woodchucks. Did real well with the 36 grain varmit grenades also.
