Royce..., I've killed a fair amount of deer with my 30-06, then I bought a 243 and found out it kills the just as dead. Imagine that!! I know what you're saying about getting older, I don't find the 06 to have brutal recoil but I'd much rather shoot the 243.
Steelie..., saw a nice one taken with a 223 in Macon County, damn deer looked pretty dead too me!
IMO the ones knocking it never used it.
