what are you having success with? I'm guessing that it's best to stay under 100 grains with the 1:9.25
I'm looking for something that could be shot at long ranges on paper for accuracy(600 yards) and perform well on coyotes at medium to short range with or without pelt damage.
Through my reading, I keep seeing the 58 grainers popping up as well as the 85 grain vmax and 105 grain amax.

Amax for long range, 55-70 gr for yotes up to 300-400 yards maybe.

I would say the berger 105 VLD, berger 105 hybrid target and the 105 Lapua scenar L are the most accurate 6mm long range bullets but you really need 1:8 twist to stabilize them.

The 243 I built for my son is a factory barrel with the 9.25" twist. It shoots the 100 grain Sierra ProHunter and Remington 80 grain FBHP extremely well out at 560 yards. He was hitting an empty spray paint can at that range that we set up on the 4 wheeler trail to the targets on my friend's 1k range.

My barrel is 9.25 twist and loves the nosler 95 gr ballistic tips with imr 4350
