Interested to know why you consider a bullet that passes right through a better result.

Personally, I like a deer bullet to expand most of if not all of it's energy in the animal and not on the hillside or tree behind it. I've shot a lot of deer, mostly red deer which are larger than a whitetail and like bullets that expand fairly rapidly but mostly stay together. A friend I hunt with is coming up to his 900th deer and won't use a bonded bullet as he's had some serious failures. I like some of the AB line though such as the 125gr in .308 for lighter deer such as sika which are similar in size to your whitetail. They mushroom well and are mostly recovered on shoulder shots.
