Don't even think about a V-Max. They're varmint bullets. Varmint bullets are designed to expand rapidly upon impact with little penetration. Deer sized game requires controlled penetration while the bullet expands. Think 85 grains and up.
My .243 is partial to Speer 105 grain SP's. Does astounding things to a ground hog too.
