I don't use different loads per rifle.
Run one load per rig.
Have one .243 win for deer, another for varmints
And no, I'm not made of money.
I drive a crappy Jeep LOL
Clarification: I didn't buy a 2nd .243 win to hunt deer. I bought it to rebarrel to .35 rem (but the regs changed so I just tried it "as is").
Shoots good enough I might leave it.
And find another to rebarrel...........or just buy my hunting bud's spare Rem 760 in .35 rem (yes he has two).
If my varmint rigs didn't like the 70 gr Nosler BT's I'd have tried some Hornady spirepoints.
Heck, I might buy another #1B in .243 win........in case chucks ever make a comeback. Chuck rig, yote rig, deer rig...........that'd be three.
Of course a Contender rifle in 6x45 might be on the list. But might go .256 win. Yotes...........but maybe deer up close (if we ever get the deer pop back up to where shooting does is OK).

I have some cast/coated boolits to play with, but hate to go fiddling with sending them down what hopes to be a tack driving barrel.
Why?
Lead, if it's clean, doesn't do a whole lot other than deposit itself, and you can fix that.

No rifles like it mild, go full throttle.
What are your favorite .243 loads sir?
