A FAR more consistent performing bullet is the Hornady 55 Grain SPSX. (Spire Point Super Xplosive). The 50 grain version is limited to 3600 fps out of a 1:12 twist, the 55 is designed for the higher speeds of the 22-250 and 220 Swift. Great accuracy at long range and very rarely exit a Yote. The other bullet that works real well to save fur is the Vmax and Blitzking but both are quite a bit more money than the SPSX. Give the old school SPSX a try, I think your buddy will really like them.

Thanks, I will look into getting the 55gr SPSX and give them a go.
