I've spent the better part of an afternoon trying to help a friend find a deer he shot. We never found it. That wasn't because of his cartridge. He gut shot the whitetail with a .300 Win Mag. Poor shot placement isn't always overcome by using a big bad gun.
I've taken a few deer with my .243. It's a 60's vintage Winchester model 670 and I use it when if I have to loan out my 7mm. .243 is one of the best cartridges to have if you want to hunt anything from prairie dogs to mulies.
