Not the .243 load but I have an absolutely massive statistical sample of two deer killed with the 129gr 6.5 Creedmoor Browning BXR load. Both DRT in rather impressive fashion.
But a lot of bullets will do that if put in the right place. And my favorite deer rifle isn’t picky, and shoots lots of bullets well.
If you shoot factory ammo on deer, I wouldn’t hesitate to stock up if your rifle likes it. It’ll do the job in grand fashion. Hell, you may not ever need to shoot deer with anything else if you score enough of it.
My rifle likes it just fine and I’d be more than happy to use it on any deer hunt with complete confidence. That really isn’t like me, though, to use just one bullet. :-)
