Same here, I load the 85HPBT with either H4350 or V100, around 3175fps and 1/2moa at 100 yards and 1moa at 200 yards with just a 3x9 scope. I also have a 270 and 06, I find the 243 will DRT just as well. Remember shot placement is number 1, and my 243 is the most pleasant to shoot and most accurate rifle. A lot my hunting buddies shoot the 300mag and 7mag and track a lot of deer because of bad shot placement. I like high shoulder shots that 95% of the time are DRT.
