For a deer bullet the 85 gr. Speer BTSP, the 100 grain Speer BTSP and the Hornady 100 gr. flat based interlok would be my choices run with IMR 4895 or LVR. In my youth I had a 243 with an 18 inch barrel and it got 2830 fps with the Remington 100 gr. Corelokt. That rifle was a Remington Mohawk, they were on model 600 actions.
