    I used a .243 with 95gr Targex with very satisfactory results.

    A mate recently got a 16" .243 for a little lightweight close range gun. After a lot of uncertainty about whether it would be sufficient, he has shot deer out to 400+m perfectly satisfactorily with a 90gr ELDX at 2800 or so. No more uncertainty.
