IMHO, That would mostly be because they want to sell you "hunting bullets". There's literally thousands of dead critters at the hands of "match" bullets that will sing a different tune.
Is a match bullet better than a hunting bullet? no. Do they work? Absolutely. Berger was just another "Match" bullet at one point too; remember?
OP, if you can grab a couple OTC boxes of ammo do so and see what your rifle likes. Yotes don't take a lot to kill, really pretty much anything for 40-77grns will stack'em by the truck load. The lighter the bullet, the more expansion you're likely to have. BUT, it'll cost you in LR performance (i.e. wind drift) that's the catch. If you don't plan on +400 yd shots, I'd probably stick to the lighter end of the spectrum. But most any of them will work.

Dude talk about a crock of **** ,,,,a pellet gun hit will eventually kill them, lead poisoning/infection I have no doubt a match will Kill too, just not as fast and efficiently, on general body hits especially ! Head shots and Heart shots are a different thing a can you do that 100% of the time !
You might just as well be using an FMJ !!! Don't believe me,,,, go to predatormasters.com and ask real yote hunters, they will laugh you off the sight for using a match bullet ! There is no comparison between a Ballistic tip or even a true hollow point which match bullets are
NOT !
OR call any bullet/ammo manufacturer and ask, they will tell you the same thing ! Its not about selling you bullets because you have to buy the match bullet any ways ! Its about common sense! JHC !
If you cant afford the correct ammo for yotes then by all means use the match, just be prepared to have to chase them down to finish them off or let them have a long slow lingering and painful death !!!
That yote experiences the same emotions as you would if you were being hunted,,, they deserve a quick humane death !!!!!!!
