Just read all this post, so decided to chime in. I reload for the 243 and the 100 g Hornady Interlock ( #2453) is a good deer bullet. Putting out like 1100 ft. pounds at 300 yards with about a 6.5" drop...so you can reach out there with it. Will completely penetrate a piece of 1/4" steel at that range. That bullet also one Hornady been making a long time and killed many a deer and probably elk also. The Barnes in the 85 TTSX another good deer bullet, but they are expensive.
