Preface by saying that most of the quality bullets like the Barnes, Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, etc will do the job just fine if you shoot the deer in the boiler room. I have been shooting the 95 nbt in 243 for 20 years. I have never had any issue with performance. Most drt and the few that do run go less than 30 in my experience. I don’t shoulder shoot very often, but have done it with the 95nbt without issue. I have also used corelokt and 95 vld. They killed quickly and efficiently also. Last year my wife shot three does with my 6mmbr and the 105vld. They all were lung shot and went straight down at 150-175 yards.
I don’t see me switching from the 95nbt or 243 for deer anytime soon.
