So what do you 243 shooters feel is a good deer bullet?
I was thinking of the 90 grain ?? Nosler Ballistic Tip..
And then later on a bullet for the varmits...Thanks

Long before the "premium" bullets came out I shot a bunch of deer with the .243 using Hornady's 100 gr interlock bullet over 40.5 gr of IMR4350. I never lost a deer with this bullet/load. And as I recall, only 2 needed a second shot. The others dropped where they stood.

Ihave afriend who deer hunts with a .243, heloadsthe Sierra 100gr Prohunterand he loves that bullet.It's very accurate in his rifle and he claims he's never lost a deer using it. If ihunted with a .243 i agree witheldeguello, i'd shoot the 100gr Partition.
