The 87 gr Hornady from a .243 anywhere in the front shoulder or 6 inches behind will fold a whitetail immediately. You'll ruin one shoulder with a bone shot and no exit hole, but they do the job for sure.

I shot a lot of does with that round in the 80's with a littel Remington 600. Very mild recoil too.
