50 years ago, there were few, if any, good bullets in 243 for deer, IMHO. They either didn't expand or they expanded in a tremendous fashion. There probably were bullets that worked. I just got tired of trying. Today, it seems there are many options.
I always like partitions as they've never failed me. However, I think that most all of the bullets that were recommended would work.
I've had Gamekings fail by lack of penetration, but that was decades ago. Maybe they are OK now...
