Federal 95 GR Fusion but I doubt you could go wrong with a Nosler Ballistic Tip or Winchester combined tech of the same weight.

Only .243 round I use is the Remington 100 grain Core-Lock. Kills deer pretty dead, and in some 40 years of using them, never a failure.

Yep, the little 243 kills things, is accurate and low recoiling.

It's been a lot of years since I've hunted with factory ammo. In fact almost as many since I even shot factory ammo. That said I tend to try new product's based on what many people have to say about them. Took a lot of years just to try Reloader rifle powder and still have only tried 19 and 22! Then I pretty much stay the course forever more. If I was to use factory ammo for deer hunting in a 243, it would be 100gr Core Locks hands down. That is not to say there is not ammo out there as dependable as Core Locks but I don't see much of anything getting the reviews they get after a heck of a lot of years.

100 grain federal blue box. A couple years ago with a combination of a federal rebate, and a walmart clearance, they paid me a couple dollars a box to take them out of the store. I have a whole bunch of them, my kid kills stuff with them frequently.

Federal Blue box 80 grain snaps them pretty hard.
Get out there and mix 'em up!

A 100 gr Core-Lokt is my go to .243 ammo, it gives a deer a bad headache.
