Just picked up a box of 85 grain TSX BT for my .243 Win, plan to work up a whitetail load with them. I've had no trouble finding loads at 65 and 100 in this rifle, but curious to hear what folks like @ this weight, and with this bullet. Thanks!
 
Id try H4350 or RL19, I can push the 87 gr Vmax to almost 3200 fps with 44.0 grains H4350. The 85 TSX would be the only bullet Id try for deer in a 6mm :)

Thanks--I'll play with RL19! Yeah, me too re: deer in a 6mm. I wish they had a 100grain TSX though, would make me do the happy dance...
 
85 grains should dig deep enough from just about any angle on deer sized game, when your bullet retains 99% of its weight after impact ;)
