The old 300 Nosler Partition which has been discontinued was truly amazing but now long gone. I made a video on this topic 4 years ago if you are interested. I have also testted the 400 Speer and it is really soft and the enormous expansion reduced penetration. I have also tested 440 grain Hard Cast bullets with a wide meplat and while they penetrate through a huge amount of tissue the wound channel is quite a bit less.

Research with valid field test. The Barnes look like an overall winner for the weight, Hornady great penetration.
