I've used a .44 mag (handgun), .243, 25-06, 7mm-08, & 30-06 for deer. The 25-06 is the only one that trumped my .243. I've taken most with a 30-06. The .243 put them down quicker than my 30-06 or 7mm-08. I use 100gr Corelokts for my .243 load. I use 165gr bullets (cup & core) in my 30-06 and 140gr Corelokts in my 7mm-08. IMHO for me to get the same performance of my .243 in my 30-06 or 7mm-08 I would have to use a more fragile bullet.
