The tougher the bullet, the more chance the bullet will waste energy on the other side of the deer, be it a tree or hillside.

I often shoot coyotes with the Nosler 40 gr Ballistic Tip, and they often don’t exit. That puts most or all of the energy into the coyote. Knocks them flat. Very impressive.
