Default Great Deer Bullet

I have a 243 and hand load the 85 Sierra. Between my son and I have shot six deer with this load. All but one was DRT, one went about 40 yards that was hit just behind the last rib. Yes lots of damaged but that is what I want a bullet to do, kill it DRT. I live in central piedmont on the NC/VA state line and we are surrounded by cut-over where you can not see 10' and property lines are lined with POSTED signs. This is a great deer load accurate, light recoil and kills deer DRT. What more could one ask for?
