I read a while back that the 95 grain .243 ballistic tip is an extremely tough bullet. Apparently Gail Root, former ballistician at Nosler was a big fan of the .243 Winchester and his favorite bullet was the 95 grain ballistic tip. He was given a free hand to design the bullet as he saw fit, and he designed it tough enough to use on animals up to the size of mature bull elk.
Steve Timm could probably verify that, I believe they were good friends.
I've killed lots of deer with that bullet and see no need to use anything else.
I wouldn't hesitate to use it on larger game as well.
