Large whitetail buck at ~125 yards
-broadside through lungs and heart
-no reaction to shot, kept running into brush, no blood trail for at least 50 yards
-found dead about 100 yards from initial hit
-full penetration, rather small wound channel compared to other 243 bullets, very little bleeding internal or external
Small whitetail doe at ~125 yards
-quartering away through top of shoulders
-DRT but with rather little internal damage and no external bleeding
Compared to a 130TSX in 30-06, they leave very little damage internally and do not bleed nearly as well IME. I think that there are better bullets for the 243 by far on thin-skinned game.
