You're overthinking this. I shot a doe at 127 yards with a 165 Grand Slam at 2600fps from my 308. The bullet destroyed lungs, heart, and liver with complete penetration. Been using 150 Hornady for years, but wanted the 165 to also use on hogs because of the penetration. The 150s, at 2600 wouldn't plow through on chest shots unless under 50 yards. Bullet construction will take care of the MO.
