It is interesting that on the Federal website, the 85gr BTHP is listed for use on class 1 animals. Which they say is varmints, predators, small game.Deer consideredlight game, according to them. They list the 100gr BTHP for deer.
Don't get me wrong, if it works, it works.

Federal Premium 85gr HPBT Sierra GameKing...this after using a .243 since 1980...Killing about 75 with 100gr CoreLokts...Also like the Hornady loading and the Federal Premium in Nosler Partition and the Federal Premium 100 gr SPBT
that Hoyt mentions...btw...the 85grbullet gives full penetration in more cases than the Federal 100 gr SPBT GameKing and either of the Winchester PowerPoint loadings...Good Luck
