I've tagged twenty-some bucks with my .243. I use the Sierra 85-grain HPBT, so I'm picky on my shots. No angling shots through a bunch of meat to get to the heart/lungs. Neck shots or cross-body heart/lung shots. On the heart/lung hits, that bullet makes a double-handful of mush. But, probably 85% of my kills were neck shots. Neck or heart, though, I never had to track any of them. "Quit when hit."
