Don't try varmint grenades, they were the worst.
IIRC the least damage from the .243w was 55gr ballistic tip.

Ive been using 58gr vmax reloads in my 243 AR. Some make my fur buyer not very happy...Just finished load development for some homemade 66 grain hollow points he claims should be better. A friend of mine uses the 75 vmax and claims theyre more fur friendly.

I run the sierra 85gr bthp in my 243. 6.5 staball pushing them at 3k fps. Pretty fur friendly. Bucks the wind.

Hidden instinct did a talk on one of their videos and mentioned keeping velocities under 3500 fps I believe, greatly reduces fur damage

I shot a few with a 108 eldm in my 6 creedmoor and fur damage wasn't bad at all. Seems like the 88 gr berger varmint was decent also. Typically I shoot them with a 35 gr berger in my 204 ruger and a 40 gr berger in my 22-250. The 204 is sweet on fur
