    In case no one has told you the truth yet, the only way to kill deer is to let sunlight in to their body's.
    So as you go higher up in caliber size the more sunlight you let in and thus kill the deer deader.
    I would consider the sectional coverage of a .223 to be on the minimal side, a larger window of sunlight provided by a .243 would be preferred
