Wyo...thats a case of the Indian and not the arrow. Collectively the worst missers/wounders Ive seen were all shooting a 7 Mag. Wonderful cartridge...just in the wrong hands.
A .243 for deer would honestly be my pick...but again, it depends on whose hands its in.
Absolutely!
Nearly any CF cartridge will kill deer handily within that cartridge's range of effectiveness. I've killed a bunch with a .243, and never lost a deer wounded with the cartridge.

Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
