togliat,
The .243 is a fine Whitetail caliber out to 200 yds. I have a Mossberg 1500 and my daughter and son use a H&R Handie-Rifle youth model in .243. It does require more effort in shot placement. Your not going to break down a deer by shooting in it the shoulder like some hunter tend to do.
An other caliber you might consider is the 7mm-08, this like the .243 is a necked down .308 case. It uses a little larger and heavier bullet, the recoil will be a little heaver but not much. I do not own one but the ballistic look interesting.
