I'm with Rocky on the .243/6mm. I saw a first-time hunter (I almost hesitate to use the word) in deer camp about 5 years ago shoot 3 or 4 deer with a .243. Out of those, he MIGHT have made one clean kill. The rest were long trails, and required a second shot. By comparison, I started out rifle hunting with a 30-06. Made one bad shot, but the deer dropped within 100 yards. If you've shot a few deer over the years, I'm sure you'd do fine with a .243.
Now, that being said, if you're looking for a smaller deer round, any of the 25s would work fine. Just my $.02
