6mm the 100 Sierra GK wasn't a good choice for 243 on mule deer . Degrees of dead I suppose but a dime exit didn't make me all warm and fuzzy especially at only 80 yd . I would suggest a 90 gr SP or SPBT maybe a bonded core but not anything more than that .

I feel the same way. Ive killed animals with less than spectacular bullet performance. Some people say dead is dead. I say to hell with that bullet. That reminds me of the 90lb whitetail doe I shot with 185gr Remington core lokt in an 8x57. Shot was at 65yds, muzzle velocity around 2600fps. Bullet hit a rib on the way in and lodged under the skin on the other side. The recovered bullet was 63gr. The doe died but I’ll never use that bullet again.
