[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2944519, member: 75451"] I am very non-apologetic about being a huge advocate for mono bullets, but as you asked about .308 Win/30-06 velocities and the bullets use for deer…..I venture into a different direction! I can only suggest an older type of bullet as I have no personal recent use with any cup and core bullet, as we've used "only" monos since the early '90's! My recommendation would be the Hornady SP (interlock) in a 165 grain. My experiences with the Hornady SP's have shown them to be quite accurate and will hold together well, maintain a decent % of bullet weight, generally give the classic mushroom and penetrate quite well. But……if pushed to higher velocities, close range impact seems to limit their penetration somewhat. However, unless it's one very large bodied deer…..that should still be a non-issue! As an addend to my above comment: I have very little use for the energy theory and wish to have a pass-through on any animal I shoot and from any angle! However when on used NA game….I may forgive a bullet if it failed to exit on an end to end shot on a large moose or buffalo (Bison)! A bit disappointed but forgiven! memtb [/QUOTE]
