In Southern states where the average size of White-tailed deer is under 150 lbs the .243 Caliber is more than adequate to take down a white tailed deer for the average shooter, In the Northern States where deer go over 200lbs sometimes up to 300lbs the .243 round should only be considered by hunters with strong marksmanship skills. the .243 bullet is small and light and has much more potential to remain inside the body cavity of a large bodied northern White-tail deer there for making a blood trail almost impossible to find and follow. Also with the smaller size and weight of the round the initial shock from the impact will be less on a northern white-tail which can easily lead to a longer time to expiration of the target.

Can you kill a deer with a 25- 06?
The 7.62x25mm is a fairly small pistol cartridge. While it MAY kill a deer, it is too small to do so reliably, and most states will not permit it. Even where the law permits it, it should not be used- it does not have the energy to reliably provide a humane kill, and is most likely to wound the deer.
30-06 or 270?
100% 270, i couldn't be happier with mine, ive shot over 50 deer, ranging from 20-250 yards with my old 270. It depends on what kind of brand the guns have I have a 270 Winchester which I have shot but i personally love the 30-06 because the grains have all sorts of killing power. As the 125 grain for whitetail and mulies while the 150 for elk and antelope and the 180 for bigger game such as black bear, grizzly bear, and buffalo.

The .243 Win is a great, it shoots 80 to 100 grain bullets, the 7mm-08 Rem is also very good it shoots 120 to 140 grain bullets. The .243 recoil is very lite te 7mm-08 is mild with 120 grain bullets. The 243 is a great deer round.
