I’ve shot a fair number of deer with a 6mm Remington/100gr psp and a 243AI with 105Amax. Never with any lighter bullet weights than those (in fact, I’ve never shot lighter bullets than that through any 243/6mm rifle for any reason come to think of it).

I don’t know that I’ve had more than one go more than 30 yards under it’s own power and the vast majority fell where they stood (or landed if they were running - I grew up jump shooting whitetails).

Soft bullets flung fast tend to fold deer up quite impressively in my experience.
Pretty rare these days that I’m that mad at a deer that I need to step up to a 243AI to shoot him though.
