I like the Speer 100 BTSP for deer out of 243 for generic, cheap bullets. Also hammers are the 95gr SST's from Hornady. Sure, 95 BT's and 95/100 Pt's work, as do every other premium. I've never seen a 243 bullet fail, actually, on deer. No need to push them hard if your shots will max out at 200. Figure out something in the mid- to upper- 2000's for speed and sight in for 175 yd zero. Bullets will perform at their best and and the brass will last longer.
