Default Is this a good whitetail load?

How do all of you think this 6mm load i am using will work on deer. 95gr Nosler BT with 42gr of IMR4035 43 is listed as max. CCI large rifle primers. Do u think this will be a good deer load for PA whitetails?

Should work just fine, try to stay with broadside shots though.

I killed 2 deer this year with 95 BT in a 243 win. One at 230 yards, text book kill. The other at 40 yds and penetration was in the range of 7 or 8 inches and the bullet flew apart. (Frontal shot in the brisket) My father in law has killed upwards of a dozen over the past couple of years with same load with only a couple of mishaps. I would STRONGLY recommend avoiding bones and all but broadside shots, especially up close. That bullet is pretty tender at 3000 fps. My brother in law killed a deer and as we were skinning we found a fully mushroomed .243 BT still on the outside of the shoulder blade, it never even broke through. I'll be shooting 100 gr Partitions next year.
