Most deer that suffer needlessly are not caused because of the caliber but the bullet design and/or shot placement.
That's the key to pretty much any post when someone asks about such and such caliber for whatever game.
WAY to many people think nothing of using the same box of Walmart cheapo varmint ammo for deer or whatever.
Same thing with a .243 on Elk, not my choice but with the right bullets it's one thing, with a box of 100g PSP that they use on deer or what not, it's just asking for a lost animal.
