.243 using the Sierra 85 gr. HPBT for deer

I got 300 of these bullets for nothing. The guy I got them from sold off his .243 and knew I had a remmington model 7. His theory regarding this bullet was "A single load that is deadly on yotes and deer". These look like varmit bullets, so I called Sierra and was told the exact same thing. Sierra actually recommended these for shots out to 200 yards on deer.

Can someone with actual field experience with these bullets comment? Please let me know the animal taken and how the bullet performed. I guess I really wonder if the bullet will blow on a rib obviously a shoulder shot would be a bad idea. Thanks.
