CAN'T shoot deer with a 243. Completely immoral, unethical, bad idea, not enough Energy, just wrong and wrong headed. Atsa matta for you. Need at least Short Mag, Long Mag more appropriate!
All kidding aside, the 243 is the perfect place to use Monolithic Bullets Like Barnes 85 TSX, 95 LRX and TTSX or the limited expansion Partition. The 243's high muzzle velocity and good ballistics makes great use of these higher end bullets and these bullets will give you penetration if you run across something bigger..
