Custom bullets-6mm

Fellas,
Does anyone know a custom bullet maker that would be able to make some bullets for 6mm(243) in the 55gr to 65gr range.
The intended purpose is for hunting and I would like a bullet that would not splash on impact,most light bullets are for varmint shooting and that does not always work well when hunting for coyotes.I want a light bullet so that it shoots flat and fast to help with bullet drop when you dont have time to judge distance or twist turrets.
 
Thanks areaone

But I dont want a bullet that is used for explosive impact or varmint hunting I need a bit tougher bullet.
 
These are target bullets, not varmint. probably would hold together, not designed to expand, other alternative FMJ.
 
I could be wrong but I thought most target bullets are frangible????
I just wish I could find someone to build me some tougher bullets as I cannot find anything but what I classify as a varmint bullet for 6mm.
I shoot 70gr BlitzKings from Sierra now and they shoot great but have had some splashes.
 
Bench,

Most all light weight target bullets are thin jacketed. You may go up to a 87gr Vmax, but fur damage may be a problem.

Not really, they won't explode like a varmint bullet, but they won't "mushroom" like what we want in a good hunter either.
I've seen photo's of SMK that have a bent tip, or just one side will come down/peel.

There was a Gent down in Tex posted a bunch of yote photo's last season and he was using Seirra game kings,
