Default Favorite .243 Ammo For Savage Axis?

Picked Up A .243 Savage Axis. Was Wondering What Other Owners Are Using For Factory Ammo. Looking For A Good Round For Deer & Another For Coyotes.

Thanks!

Before I started reloading I used the 55gr bt winchester supreme in the black box, was super accurate in my axis 243. I still use the 55gr bt but I just reload my own now. I use it only for varmint/coyotes, I have other rifles I use for big game.
