From a gas gun or a bolt action? According to "the internets" it's ideal for young, in-experienced shooters as long as it's in a bolt action. I think it's the minimalist nature of the caliber that makes it perfect for new shooters who are most likely to make marginal hits. If a grown man shoots it he's either injured or unethical. In a gas gun it's commonly recognized as unethical and typically promoted by individuals who are prone to taking pot shots and dumping an entire mag on animals at unethical ranges. I could be wrong on alll of that though. I used Bing for my search instead of the more widely accepted Google.
Hey now, deer are really tough to kill!! You better regoogle it!! You need premium boolits and real powerful cartridges!!!
I've only killed one deer but it was with a .243.............
I'm super torn though. Although I love to be unethical with my .243, with the new custom getting done, its gonna be hard not to use it in Wyoming this year for antelope. Choices choices choices
So a deer is too thin skined to shot with a .243 but elk are dense enough for the small diameter bullet to expand beyond 6.5 mm and kill .... this theory only works if you use core locks though .
The 243 will work, but I prefer something a little larger. I would go with a 9.3, .404, .416 and if you want to put them down hard look at a .458.
What does the www say??

The bc on those is not near what it needs to be. I read on the inter webs that you need a bc of .875 to effectively kill any thing.
