The odd thing about the 243 to me was the number of deer that went down on the spot or within a few feet. Then others that would make it way into the thick with good solid chest hits. I shot a doe dead center through the lungs and she dropped but then she got back up and made it fifty yards! I have rarely ever seen that happen. That was with the 85 grain Partition.
