I agree 100% with bpl. I know the .243 lovers will come out of the woodwork saying how you don't need anything bigger, but I have personally seen too many deer run for hundreds of yards, leaving little or no blood trail when shot with a .243. Maybe the shot placement wasn't perfect or the wrong bullet was used. I know when you hit em' through the shoulders with a 7mm ballistic tip, they don't make it out of their own shadow. Now to sit back and wait for the .243 lovers to hate on me.
