I have no idea what you're talking about. In any event, there aren't degrees of dead despite what Miracle Max claims.

That chart says, in a nutshell, nothing about effectively killing deer.
According to that logic the .243 Winchester is a better choice for elk than a .338 win mag.
Do you understand what sectional density is? A .308 180gr bullet has a SD of .271. Every rifle has a "sweet spot" round that performs optimally. I posted the .243 vs the 150gr .308 to illustrate to you that just because you have a larger caliber rifle does not mean it will kill as effectively.

7mm-08 is the correct answer for this.
im going with downshift.
For example ( one of the many reasons i personally wont shoot a 243)
I have had 2 different friends shoot and blood 2 different wallhangers within 2 weekends. I was hunting on the same property both times, and i tried to help track them. Very very sparse blood.
Found one of the 2 bucks like 5 or 6 days later in a creek. Behind the shoulder shot. Didnt make sense.
i will say that its all about shot placement. But a larger caliber will give you a touch more room for error at distance.
Also, i have one buddy who piles up deer every year with his neck shootin deer slayin .243
