heavier ones-e.g., the 165-grain .30 caliber bullets versus the 180-grain ones, or the 210
or 225-grain ones in .338 size versus the 250-grain ones".

Well, I guess I could see that on a larger critter with a denser carcass where penetration was critical

The data I mentioned earlier was specific for Southern WT deer.
