RE: .243 for deer
Roskoe. I think in the case of the 270, the TSX will do both deer and elk quite well. I havn't used the 270 on elk since the TXS came out but I did have good results with the Nosler Partition and I think the TXS might be even better.
I don't know if they still make it but the best bullet I ever used in the 243 for deer was the 95 grain Nosler Partition Semi Spitzer.
