I have seen many deer shot with a .243. The cartridge can do the job if the shot is a good one.

Be sure to stick with 100 grain bullets (my deer reloads all get 100 grain Nosler Partitions). The .243 is light for deer, but by using the heaviest bullets it becomes much more capable of handling those "awkward" shots that sometimes become the only shot.
