243s and 7mm-08s both do the trick with some margin of error on all deer sized game, and while I love my 7mm-08 I would advise anyone looking for a smaller then 30-06 to consider a 6.5mm, my 6.5x55 has an impressive track on deer and hogs and has recoil between the 243 and 7mm-08. The 6.5x55 is something of a handloaders cartridge though, if you want factory consider the 260 Rem or the impressive new 6.5 Creedmore which basically duplicate the performance of my handloads. With Ballistic Tips or SST you will be shocked at how hard that little 6.5mm pill hits even at range.
