Round penetration

[Glockem]

What’s your thoughts on rounds penetration. Say within 100 yards. So you prefer two holes or one? Blowing through both sides or energy retained in the body.
Thanks

Kid shot a couple deer Sunday with a 77 grain TMK from her 22 Creedy. Impact velocity around 2923 fps. Ranges were 50 and about 75 yards. No exit. Massive hydrostatic shock. First doe went about 40-50 yards max. Textbook behind the shoulder hit.
Her buck was a great frontal shot at 50. Instant death.

My bull elk was at 905 yards with the 6 UM. 115 grain DTac. Perfect behind the shoulder impact. Ballet stopped on the offside shoulder. Instant death.

I've also shot deer with a 270 wby and a 140 accubond. The bullets blew through and the deer would run off with pencil holes in their lungs.

Definitely a bigger fan of fragmenting bullets. A bigger wound channel and more shock/tissue damage .

Concur, just wanted a perspective from others

"Perfect" IMO would be a bullet the penetrates enough just to fall out the other side. I'd like 2 holes for better tracking and better leakage.

As much energy as possible dumping into the target.

For me it depends. I like a 5.56/223 with a good bullet for DRT high shoulder shots.

I shoot double lung, no bone behind the shoulder with powder-puff 300g 45/70 hand loads going 1500 fps for meat, and just follow the trail for 30-40 yards.

Both are easy to shoot well. I like blood or DRT at last light if possible though.
