Default 243 vs. 25-06

I was on another forum and alot of teh people on there say the 25-06 bullets cant handle deer sized game but a 243 with 100gr bullet is a great deer round. Ive never shot a deer witha 25-06 but i believe the bullets come in heavier weights then a 243 and are built for deer sized game. And the fact the gun has more power then a 243. Im only bringing this up here because im thinking about getting one in a Tikka and everyone on there said a 243 would be alot better choice for deer.
