.270 has more recoil
.243 has less power and recoil, but a deer isn't gonna know that
Power won't make up for poor shot placement. If your sensitive to recoil or haven't shot a lot of rifles, a .243 may be better.

get the 243 sweet little round weither you are just starting out or have been shooting all your life. you don't need a matcho gun to embress anyone you just need something you like.
i have 2 270's and love them both and they are great rounds don't get me wrong. however the 243 is better . more then 1 deer has fallen to the 243.
