Best .243 Bullet for deer

[jrebel]

95g SST has been devastating on deer from my wife's gun. All one shot kills!

Father in law loads the sst in the mother in laws 6.5 and it destroys animals....unbelievable damage / holes.

85 grain Barnes triple shock to 95 grain ballistic tips, has always produced a dead deer within 100 ft or closer from the shot.

95 gr Nosler BT has proven to work great ! About 10-12 animals in our house deer and elk (110 yards elk out to 400 deer all bang flop ! )

I'm sure some genius will be along shortly to say how .243 is marginal on North American Game and how we all owe it to the Animals to use a Viperbatslayer magnum.

caliber too small, caliber too big..yawn..

105 Berger if you have the right twist.

My family has had great luck using the Hornaday interlock 100gr. Devastating performance.

  Also had really good results with this one.  It's all we feed the .243 any more.

I don't even get that fancy.  100 gr Hornady's.  I have killed probably 50 deer and antelope with that bullet.

I've only shot 100gr factories from mine.  Only one that didn't group well was Remington Core-lokt, it digests Federal, Winchester, Hornady and all have been good terminal performance.

100gr Remington Core-Lokts and Hornady Interlocks have knocked many down for us.  Both Factory and handloaded.  Doesn't take anything expensive, they're just deer...

Love my 243, the only problem I see on big game is people shoot it a long ways cause it shoots flat, BUT it runs out of energy quick due to light bullets, I consider the 243 a 300 yard deer gun, no further, coyotes ??as far as you can hit em.

Thanks for the info guys

I'm a little late to the party here but the 105 Berger Hunting VLD has performed really great for us.  We've taken a number of deer and antelope with them over the years.
