Granted in the .243 you want a tougher bullet, especially for close range on a shoulder hit, but I've seen a lot of folks that just can't get the 85gr-95gr TSX's to fly worth diddly out of their .243's. You already know a 100gr will fly well. Give the Interlocks a shot and if they fly well you can bet you will be 100% satisfied by their terminal performance. Not to mention they are quite a bit cheaper than those Barnes.
Thanks guys for all the great info. I will definitely give them a try. I had a bad experience with hornady a few years back with the sst so have honestly been scared to try hornady again. But it's worth a shot
