In Alaska a lot of big game (including Caribou, Moose, and even large Yogi's) are taken each year with cartridges much less powerful than the .243.

When hunting deer proper bullet construction and shot placement will get the job done, no matter if you are using the .243, .30-06, or just about any other cartridge.
