I know others have different experiences, my 243 (Rem 783) has dropped DRT every deer I've shot with it in the last 6 or 7 years. Shots to 200 yards, 100 or 105 grain bullets, mainly Winchester Whitetails with Ballistic tips. I've either put the bullet through the spine in the back or through the spine in the neck. It's an accurate bullet, you wait for the right shot and put it in the central nervous system, it's lights out deer drops and no track job.
I see no reason to use anything else.
My son achieved his first DRT this year with a high shoulder on a nice 8pt with his .243 in 95g coppers. I love trailing them up, but that was a good feeling too.
