Swede44magRe: Fur friendly 243 Win loads??
You might try a FMJ I know they are not as accurate but with out the expansion they should punch a clean hole in and out. My two cents worth.

trgThomas. You might also try the sierra 60gr varminter, i think it doesn�t penatrate as much as the nosler.

jpothofAlthough you might think that FMJ would work nicely, its not the case unless you hit your target at around 2600fps. Anything over that and you risk the posibility of fragmentation at the cannelure and a less than fur friendly result.
I'm also looking for a fur friendly load and will be experimenting with the 55gr BT over H4895. I've tried the 80gr HP from Remington, and its not so "friendly".
I think with the 55gr BT its going to be hit or miss. If it blows up and stops before exiting then it will work great, but if it exits, watch out for splatter
