    Looks like you are finally getting what "store bought" 243 ammo others are using, just stiff through all the " iatolliayou's".
    If this weapon is for the left handed young lady you showed before ? With a little practice she should be able to get a follow up shot as fast as if she were right handed. Just teach her" aim small , miss small

    No Sir , it’s a hand load . Factory Ammunition choice would be this ,it shoots to the same zero at a hundred yards.

    Nowadays . . with excellent bullets to load,or in factory ammo,there are no reasons to try to make up for POOR SHOT PLACEMENT with a larger caliber and more power.
    Every time I hear . . "The shot placement was good but they just ran off". My thought is 2+2=4.
    Proper bullet put where it is supposed to be ='s dead animal. ---- SAWMAN

    RR , in my none professional opinion, any of those will work great! I’d go with the one that’s most accurate in that rifle.
    I would go with what I shoot the best with.
    Years ago a 32-20 in the south and in the northern woods a 44-40 were good to go for deer and people killed deer with them. I suspect they were also stalking and waiting, got real close also. More of them used dogs. For a while some of the dog hunters were using M1 carbines.

    Contrary to popular belief..... There's no magic bullet!!! I've killed to many deer with the GREAT and MIGHTY 22 lr to think otherwise.

    These factory loads have always served us well when taking deer.

    Winchester 100 gr. power point
    Remington 100 gr. core-lokt pointed soft points

    As others have stated, what your rifle shoots best would be a good choice.

    You should try the Winchester 100g power points, they're designed for light skinned animals. Box lists deer and antelope.
    It;s not often you ever have a small exit wound with these, unless you try taking out both shoulders 100+ yds out.
    I’ll grab a box next time I place an order and give them a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
