The Hornady Interbond isn't designed for varmints although I'm quite sure it would kill a coyote!

I don't have a .25, but have found Speer bullets to be very consistent and give great accuracy. The Nosler bullets you linked to look as though they will cause the least pelt damage.
Pull up a stump and crack a beer. Someone will be along soon who has used a 250/3000 for 'yotes.

I'm already reloading the Sierra 1625 for this rifle and it's great for deer.

I've not used the #1600 but worked up a load for it's bigger brother the #1800 in .270 that is consistently sub MOA at 200yds.
Got to be worth a try IMO.
