First, check the game laws of YOUR state- they vary from state to state on what is a LEGAL weapon. I live in Virginia- and .223 and 22-250 are too small HERE.
My personal view is that .243 and larger caliber are suitable for deer. 30-30, 7mm-08, 308, and 30-06 are the classic deer cartridges. There are others that also work well.
