I shot my first deer with a 243 win and consider it the starting point for deer caliber selection. For most deer hunting it is fine. Are there better ones to pick from, you bet. Purchasing a 243 is an excellent way to pass a rifle down to a son/daughter ect. Good luck and happy shopping!
 
RR, I've also trusted Remington ammo over the years. I shot that 3 pt in PA with the 243 and he took like two steps after a heart shot. Funny, this week my son was giving me his list of guns that he wants. He wasn't too happy when I told him his sister wants a few! :crybaby:I should just sell them and get a boat! :w00t:
