Kinda sounds to me like you are using a poor choice of bullet for varminting. A .243 performing correctly on a good shot is gonna fold anything that small. I'd say you're using a deer load or possibly FMJ. You really need something more along the lines of a 65gr. Hornaday V-max. There isn't enough chest cavity depth in a yote for a bullet to perform correctly if it isn't a high velocity/rapid expansion design. Choose better bullets, not necessarily heavier ones.
