Default 243 winchester

what is a good bullet weight for the .243? my rifle is the remington 700 vls. I have treid 58 gr. vmax's, they group great, and leave a nasty entrance wound. The problem is that up to 250yds. they are ok, but at 300 and 350 they drop off rapidly, { 350 digs dirt} I was told that a heavier bullet would stabilize better, and that the .243 should be able to reach 400yds easy. I would like something heavy enough for deer, and to target shoot at 200 to 400 yds. any help would be greatful.
