:lol: Of course you should also consider . . . . . Federal Premiums which come with Nosler Partitions in 140. I doubt you would need them for deer, but they are a commonly sold cartridge around here. For years I used the Remington coreloks 180 gn out of my Rem 7600 in 30-06. I switched because it was very common that I did not get exit holes. Granted the deer never went far, if anywhere, but usually all I found was bullet fragments all over the place. These deer were shot from 12 yds to 150 yds. Broadside, quartering towards and quartering away. Of course when the game animal drops within yds of where it was shot an exit hole is probably an over-rated charactoristic of a bullet.
