I like two holes. One in and one out. Where I hunt, if a deer runs 20 yards with no blood trail, there’s a good chance it may not be recovered.
With that said, the Nosler 95 ballistic tip, Sierra 85 gr HPBT and Speer 100 gr HPBTs were spotty on pass troughs. Is there a decent cup and core that can stay together and have a high probability of passing through? If I can find that, I’ll use the .243 more. That’s where the .308 and .30-06 have been more reliable for me.
