I prefer through and through shots as well. If there is energy for a through and through, there should be energy to deal with that pesky CNS(spine/skull) if hit. Don't discount secondary projectiles, I saw an unfortunate fleeing felon that was hit in the back of the neck by a 357 Magnum, his vertebrae that were hit shattered, almost severing his head.
