243 is a great round, but as with all cartridges, the shooter needs to learn the limitations and not try to get famous pulling stupid stunts. Respect the animal with your hunting.

Pretty much.
My 6BR is my most precise rifle, but dammed if I'd take it out for moose hunting. Coyotes maybe. As the OP had mentioned deer, judging a .243 in a hunting context is totally relevant.
I take it that anyone slinging 105gn bullets a couple hundred yards out at deer hasn't been charged yet by a deer at 40 yards even with half its ribcage blown off.
