In general, TSX or TTSX are going to be as fur friendly as it gets in a 243. I have been using Barnes exclusively since 1992 for big game and in my 22 Hornet for coyotes. Using the 85gr TSX while deer hunting, I shot a coyote at about 100yds, facing me. The exit behind the hips was large, but perhaps some of that was caused by bone fragments.
However, I am pleasantly surprised by the lack of fur damage using the 75gr Vmax. Out of 33-34 coyotes shot with my 243/75gr Vmax combo, only one had fur damage. On all the others, there was no exit with shots from 20yds to just over 400yds.
The Barnes are the best hunting bullet out there, IMHO.
