Randy I. · Answer

Yes it is a very good whitetail deer round mild recoil and is very effective with the right ammo

James G. · Answer

Shaun, the 243 will be the optimal cartridge for deer. Plenty of power for deer and deer sized game and low enough recoil to "Place em where you want em" consistently.
