    2506 with 117 Sierra Prohunters puts down large bodied Tahr at and past 400 quite comfortably, deer are much easier to kill - fills the criteria set.

    A short barrelled 270 in a light rifle will boot, a long barrelled 2506 in a medium weight rifle will not, reverse that and the recoil will be similar, lots of variables, but a newbie would be well served by .243 to learn rifle handling and use skills.
