What's the best 243 bullet selection for white tail?

Developed a couple of loads that work quite well on both feral hogs and whitetail out to as far as I want to shoot them (+/- 500 yards): 85 gr Partition running along at 3275 fps and the 90 gr AB running at 3225 fps. Out to 250 yards, POI is nearly the same, within 3/4" of each other.

Below is a 4-shot group I did with the 90 gr AB's using IMR 4350. Target was at 500 yards. That's a business card I'm holding up next to it. :



Note the first shot penetrated the 3/8" AR500 steel at that range. :shock: (y)
 
Nice shooting. My IMR 4350 arrives on Wednesday. Sucks running out of powder you guns like!

Nice shooting. Going to try the BT's first, but was wondering about the 85PT and 90 AB. Hate running out of 4350. The truck with it comes Tuesday night. I'll have it Wednesday!
