To be honest I like the 85gr holow points in my .243 for deer.
.......
and theyre not varmint bullets.
Not varmint bullets??? From Federal ammo website:

243 WIN. (6.16X51MM) SIERRA GAMEKING BTHP PREMIUM VITAL*SHOK®

Federal Load No.: P243D
Caliber: 243 Win. (6.16x51mm)
Bullet Weight: 85 / 5.51 (Grains / Grams)
Bullet style: Sierra GameKing BTHP
Use: 1

1-Varmints, Predators, Small game, 2-Medium game, 3-Large, Heavy game, 4-Dangerous game, 5-Target shooting, Training, Practice

Now, you go argue with Federal! 85gr. HPBT's were meant to be used for prairie pups,
chucks, coyotes, and such. Not intended for use on deer (= #2 = medium game).
