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.
