Here we go!
A well placed shot from just about any .22 caliber centerfire rifle will drop a deer. This is why the law is set the way it is.

It's a perfectly fine caliber. However, I'd go with something a little larger (unless you were a woman or a kid). I shoot a .270. 30-06 is a fine choice. Of course everything would depend on where you hunt and how far of a shot you plan to make.

It's good but .270 is probably a better bet. 30-06 is by far the most versatile of the more common options.

Yes. Deer haven't grown armor since you were 10, so it will still work.

.243 is fine for deer. I actually just purchased a sako in .243 for my all around varmint and whitetail gun. I'm just waiting on the funds for a new scope for it.
If I was buying my first deer rifle I would go bigger than .243.
It doesn't matter which caliber to get but some good ones are(in my best bubba gump voice)

.257 weatherby
.270
.270wsm
.280
7mag

Pretty much any bullet from .24 cal and up will be just fine. Some may be faster, flatter or heavier but you don't need to worry about that until you have a safe full of guns and are trying to buy something you don't have
