I always use 75gr HPs out of my 243 for shooting small critters such as jacks, coyotes, fox, etc. On a fully furred coyote I have yet to have an exit hole with that load (I have it loaded down a lil bit over max load), and it anchors everything on the spot. I even shot a wounded doe (buddy wounded it and couldn't hit it again) with the 75gr HPs last winter and it dropped in its tracks at 256 yards.

If I decide to use my 243 on bigger critters like deer/antelope it gets 95gr Combined Technology Ballistic Tips loaded to max load.
