My question is, is it possible to develop an accurate load for the .243 that will be fur friendly and yet still be suitable for taking a deer? A dual purpose gun I guess you would say. I know twist rate ultimately determines the bullet weights that can be shot accurately.
Would I be able to develop an accurate load with let’s say a 55-75 grain bullet for coyotes and possibly develop a load for 95-100 grn bullet all in the same rifle?
I haven’t reloaded for awhile but plan on getting back into it in the near future.

I have used 100 grain bullets of most brands with good luck on small to large animals. You will find the same I'm sure.
