Morning Andy,
At risk of sounding like a dullard killjoy....check the MV/ME of those...You may find they are below the legal 1700ftlb ME. Agree with Chasey and Nun you will find them very messy on any body shot as they are a frangible varmint round. You can certainly use them for head shots but then you'll open another can of worms!
IMHO 85gr Gamekings/Nos Parts or 100gr SP would do everything you need legally and effectively!

I found the 95g causes a fair bit of damage to a chest shot fallow and a friend after shooting 5 with the 75g said the damage was too much for him.
I am useing the Hornady 75g Balistic tip for fox and head shot only for deer
Chasey
Oh no, another head shooter. Must be one of the Queen's snipers
SS
if its a beast I will get a 243.
Cheers
Top bullet that 75gr vmax in a 243, head neck chest, dont head shoot deer blaa blaa blaa, what a crock
Ever see the carcass of a deer that starved to death because some clown took a head shot and only managed to blow the jaw away?

The 25-06 is a little better than a 243 but for "deer" in general a larger caliber is appropriate.SS
