Yes. Now that you've modified your OP to specify "deer rifle" you should keep your 243. The 6mm Creedmoor is obviously not for you.
I didn't make the thread to see if I wanted it, but to see what 6mm Creedmoor did that made it stand out as better than other cartridges of the same relative caliber and velocities. Having said that, it seems the only thing most posters have made mention of that 6mm Creedmoor is best for something that's non-hunting, non anti-personnel, non-plinking use.
If that's the case, I don't have a use for it.
The one thing that's discussed is its accuracy and faster twist rate which enables it to stabilize a heavier bullet....all of these makes it a better deer cartridge than a .243. I own a .243 and it will not shoot anything heavier than a 90 grain bullet worth spit. I'll take a 6mm Creedmoor over a 243 every day of the week.
