noma tipstrike 170gr in a shorter 300wsm, loaded them pretty mild since planned for all whitetail.
does from 75-350yds, high shoulder or double lungs, coyote and pig as well.
exit holes on everything, sometimes about a half dollar sometimes just caliber size but the ones who had a short run left a trail.
theses things seem to open up fast, like before 2" and blow up hard but punched a hole through everything so far. more internals becoming externals on the coyote and pig but less meat loss than my 135 classic hunter
 
.223 73 eldm
Caribou at 100 yards. One lung with 2-3” hole in it then bullet went into the guts and I didn’t dig around anymore. Went 30 yards and laid down and died

.223 73 eldm
Dall sheep at 300 yards. Hard downward angle, bullet went through the spine and ended up with pieces in his briskest. DRT

300 win mag 200 gr eldx
Moose at 70 yards. One shot through both lungs. Ran about 5 yards then stood for 30 seconds and died. Didn’t dig around too much but there was lots of damage. When I cut through the ribs blood geysered out of the hole
 
Hog @ ~50 yards
6.5PRC
127 LRX

Aoudad @ 250 yards
6.5PRC
143 Bondstrike

Probably wouldn’t use the bondstrikes again, was underwhelmed by their performance.
 
A little overkill but a 150 gr Corelokt (the one rifle I don't reload for, too long of a story) on a whitetail doe. She did not travel very far.
 
10pt whitetail with a 165 Sierra HPBT GK
8pt whitetail with a 175 gr Sierra MK with the hollowpoint opened up to about 2mm
 
3 doe from 75-233y with 105 hybrid @3100 from 18” 6prc
