To get wrapped around the axle about bullet construction I'd have to be pretty unhappy about a bullets performance. I use a fair share of different component bullets to take deer and have had so few bad experiences that they are not generally worth remarking on
I did experience a bit of a goat rope twice with the Remington .243 80 PLHP factory load. Once on a deer and once on a hog. These bullets were never meant for anything but varmints and I knew it going in
But I know a couple of guys using the Nosler .243 70 Ballistic tip, or the Hornady 75 gr .257 Vmax very successfully on deer over a number of years
So hard to go wrong with bullet choice for deer...
