It took me a couple years to find the right bullet for the 243 Win.....Sierra 85gr. HPBT GameKings was my goto bullets when I did deer crop damage shooting.....shot 80-100 deer a year never lost a deer some would do a 50 yard death run....
I know several people that do deer control shooting and will only use Sierra 85gr. HPBT GameKings
Back in the 80's it was a MatchKing bullet when I started using it....name was changed to GameKing maybe around 1990...I'am going on memory so might not be correct....
I've used bullets from 58 to 100 grains in the 243, but if I could use only one bullet for a 243, it would be the 85 grain Sierra HPBT GK. while I prefer the 90 and 95 grain BT's for deer, and the 58-65 grain bullets for coyotes, the 85 is a good compromise. It will kill the snot out of a deer, and it'll flat put the hurt on a coyote. I use W760 powder, and push it as fast as I can.
