LFD -

the most important criteria for a bullet is to choose a load that shoots well in your gun.

In factory ammo I would look for loads using the Nosler AccuBond or Partition or the Barnes TTSX.

And I wouldn't worry about whether the bullet exits or not. I've had elk drop at the shot both ways, with exit and without.

If you want good tasting meat don't shoot the herd bull or the lead cow.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
