True. I think bullet selection becomes more important as you move down in caliber. If your 140gr 7mm bullet breaks up, one of the pieces could still be bigger than some brand new .243 bullets.

I've dropped quite a few whitetails with a .243 and 100 grain corelokts.  This was all I used while hunting the thick brushy north woods of NH and Maine.  It was the only rifle I had and I never felt handicapped because I was using "cheap" ammo.   I'll take good shot placement with cheap ammo over trying to plow a bullet through brush and hope to drive it lengthwise through a deer any day of the week.
