The 110gr would be great for coyote and the like, but I wouldn't use it on deer unless I had nothing else available. 150gr bullets are just so much better on deer hide and bone.

Note that the .243 has killed plenty of deer, but it is considered the industry low. I would only use one if I had nothing else, and if you're shooting .30cal bullets, a 150 grain would suit you much better, especially for deer hunting.
