Pretty much nothing you will shoot out a 243 will be fur friendly. Everyone goes to smaller bullets for fur but the smaller bullet goes faster than the deer load, usually with explosive results. There is no single cartridge that will be great on fur right from 0 to 700 yards. Some (204, 22 hornet) are great to 200 yards then others (22-250, 223) take over out to greater distances. Were i to use my 6mm Creed (very close to the 243 ballisticly) for coyotes it would be a 400 yard plus gun and then I'd be using the big (108 grain) high BC bullets to fight wind drift.
