I hunt with two guys that use Remington 100gr Core Lokt in their 243s, and it sure works well on deer. I hand load 80 gr Speer for coyotes, but have not tried factory amo.

J, I use 95 gr ballistic tips over 43 gr's of H4350 as my all around load in my 243. Really, I havent found a need to use a "Varmint load", just one all around load. Its easier to work with than remembering the ballistics of multiple loads in a gun...

My gun also shot 100 gr PP's VERY well, and the 55gr ballistic tips, (both available from winchester in factory form)
I've killed a deer with the 100 gr PP's, and shot some dirtpigs and other vermin with both factory loads.
My best suggestion, is go and buy a few boxes of assorted 243 ammo, and see what works best in your gun.

243 varmint

Just about any of the factory varmint loads will work in the 243. The 100 grain pills I shot out of mine sure made deer and smaller critters real sick.
