The 130 accubond in my old carbon barreled 260 is devastating on deer. It just flattens them. I'm always tempted by higher BC stuff but that rifle really likes the 130 accubond so that's what it still gets.
I had a few bucks make it a ways after long shots with a 140g interlock from a 264 at 3200 mv. I thought those sp cup and core bullets would grenade at that speed but the lot I have appeared too tough. The lungs were still mostly intact with quarter sized blood shot circles and an exit. I switched to the 140 sst to get a little more expansion. It put one down by lightning but i didn't get a good look at the damage. I gave it to someone with the skin still on but the lungs were soup and there was an exit.
Sometimes chest hits don't leave a good trail because all the blood pools up in the chest cavity instead of leaking out. I've hit a few in recent years with a 215 hybrid from a 300 wsm and they ran a ways but left really good trails including lobes of lung out of a 3" exit.
