Andy,
This all goes back to the debate of whether or not a .22 is enough gun to kill deer. Some think it is, others do not think it is. Since the .243 is only a step up, I am sure the debate will continue. Me, I wouldn't hesitate to let my kid use a .243 on deer, but I think I would subsitute the 80 gr. practice bullet with the 100 gr. bullet when shooting at deer.
I have seen deer killed with a .22-250 and even thought about using my .220 Swift on deer with Barnes XLC's loaded for the gun. However, I ended up thinking better of it since I have plenty of other rifles that are just fine for deer.
