Hunt with the one your rifle likes best. They’ll both kill a pine goat

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

I’d say whichever has the better BC. Are you stuck with only those two choices? I think there are some better projectiles available. BC means nothing to 95%+ of all hunters. Shoot what your rifle likes. I've got experience with both the Pro Hunters and Speers in 243. ProHunters shoot better for me but I don't normally get an exit so I wait for better shots. The Speers aren't quite as accurate but seem to be tougher. Both kill.

Between them two bullets you listed in your original post, there isn't a dime's difference in their BC. Neither of them would be considered a high BC bullet.

I know this has been beat to death, but my youngest boy killed his first deer after Christmas with a 70gr ballistic tip. And yeah, I know those are supposedly varmint rounds, but it absolutely devastated that yearling spike. 60 yd shot, with a nice exit wound, and the deer made it 30 yds out of the plot. I've seen deer run further shot with a 7-mag. He'd practiced with and was comfortable with the rifle and the rounds and knew where the vitals were for proper bullet placement, and that "varmint" pill worked beautifully. Don't pigeon hole yourself into thinking there are only 2 or 3 options for deer in a 243.
