My .243 has not been hunting in ....way too long. Got to do something about that. I load 70 grain Sierra pointed soft points for coyote. For deer I use either 95 or 100 NP with complete confidence. Friends who use 85 Barnes TSX and TTSX are happy happy. Truthfully the 70s are a feel good project as I usually shoot coyote as a target of opportunity while hunting deer. A spring coyote and pig hunt to south Texas excepted.
