My only other belief is that a .243 should be used for groundhogs only!
My .243 works just fine, thank you very much. I've shot as many deer with my .243 as I have with my .30-06, and there has been NO discernible difference in their performance. I've had just as many drop in their tracks with the .243 as I have withthe '06. I've had just as many run 30 yards after being shot with the '06 as I have with the .243. Every deer I've shot with the '06 required one shot. Every deer I've shot with the .243 required one shot. Anyone who thinks the .243 is not a competent deer cartridge is either a poor marksman, or has no experience using one.

A shot gun is not a rifle.

If I had to pick any of those JUST for deer hunting and one only. The 06' probably.

Of course you can use buckshot or slugs, BUT.... the poll is entitled "Deer RIFLES".
