I am all for shot placement. If you do a broadside, double lung shot, the amount of meat loss is minimal as the rib meat is thin. Watch for possible bone and/or bullet fragments if you hit a rib or other bones.
For those using Ballistic Tips or other hollow point point bullets in a rifle cartridge, rapid expansion is why they were created and bullet fragmentation is not uncommon.
I have never shot them, but I have read several posts where the Federal Fusion ammo has a small entry and exit hole on deer sized game shot from a deer rifle cartridge.
