    From that list I would be picking the Speer 85gr.
    The others I don't know.

    My old man used to use 75gr for fallow in the blue mountains, 85-87gr for reds.
    If you are shopping to buy bullets the Sierra Game King 85gr and hornady 87gr boat tail are popular in 243 for mid size game and generally well priced.

    Im a huge fan of the game king in .223 and .308 it does look like theirs 100gn availble but none of the lighter
