[QUOTE="mike243, post: 5530320, member: 3237"] I don't take shoulder shots on deer and don't recommend them, Have seen multiple posts on lost deer with all kinds of calibers on here, I take bow shots with any gun I shoot, And I don't mean the folks who shoot shoulders with arrows lol. I have a lot of bang flops with my 243 as long as I didn't use a premium bullet designed to penetrate. I use a AR and a 300wm most of the time, both work fine but have never felt under gunned with a 243. I have a single shot 17HMR , love the accuracy but hate the reload time to take another critter. not a lot of difference in price, here is a recoil chart just for comparison, here are some links to compare.
