Killed more deer than I can remember using Sierra 85 hpbt, Nosler 95 BT, and a bunch of Hornady 105’s both Amax and bthp. All kill deer deader than fried chicken, never an issue with any of the above bullets.
Would pick the 95 BT as an “all rounder” if I had to pick only one.
Topic makes me laugh when I think of all the deer that die annually with arrows stuck in their ribs, no reason on earth to believe a .243 isn’t enough gun, just shoot straight like anything else.
Also laugh at the notion a bullet is somehow a failure while the shooter has a dead deer at his feet examining “wound channels”
