Need help picking a 223 bullet for coyotes

I'm looking for little fur damage. Will probably never shoot past 200 yrds more probably 150 or under. I have three I'm leaning toward, Winchester white box 45gr jhp varmint, Hornady 55gr Vmax and the Russian made Brown Bear 62gr sp. I was thinking the 45 and 55 would be explosive on impact and might stay in the animals but I have no experience to know. Also was thinking the 62gr sp might just make a little hole in and a little bigger hole going out. All three shoot well enough and would like someone with experience shooting coyote with 223cal bullets to give me their opinions
Thank and sorry if this isn't the correct forum for this question. I'm still sort of new here.

I guess I'll start off with the Remington 55gr PSP. If that doesn't give the desired effect
then I'll try one of the lighter more explosive bullets. My object is to collect some nice winter hides but that will be second to the thrill of calling in these wiley coyotes.

I use the cheap 45grain Winchester white box of 50. Usually, one hole going in, nothing coming out.
You might try that one.
