We have shot a truck load of deer with my daughters 243 and 85gr TSX's. Great combination that has never let us down. I have zero reservations about putting them through the shoulders and have several times with great results.
I can't comment on the two bullets you have. I would probably go lungs, as the 243 made me nervous on deer before we tried the 85gr TSX. Give the Barnes 85gr TSX a whirl next year. The 243 and 85gr TSX were made for each other.
