[QUOTE="jrock, post: 996480, member: 78569"] I've taken a number of deer with these. I opt for the heavy bullets in the .243 for deer. Conventional bullets shed 50% of their mass so a 100 grain bullet would end up being 50 grains. I've shot all my deer at less than 200 yards and the Interlock always ended up on the skin on the other side and a dead deer less than 30 yards from where I shot it. Going to try the 95 grain Bergers for better BC next time. As for your 80 grain or less question, I would look for a bonded bullet or the Barnes. I have a box of the Barnes but never used them. I'm sure the old standby's of Partition, Game Kings, and Corelokts will do it for you at shorter ranges just fine. [/QUOTE]
