Yes, 150 CL's don't always pass through depending on shot angle. Broadside they generally do. But I don't remember my Dad ever having to blood trail another deer after we switched to them
Yeah Mike, I think he missed the point of your post. (not being critical)
When my Dad switched us from 180 RN Core-Lokts to 150 Core-Lokts we were finally able to stop following blood trails.
Personally since I started with the 243/6mm then to 270, I never went heavy for caliber.
Even in the 35 Whelen I found the 200 HSP did what I wanted on WT.
