I'm not too worried about "killing on both ends" because I only shoot 1 or 2 rounds at a game animal. If you want a stomping lethal load, try the 402 Hammer bullet at around 1,700 fps. I shot 2 of them into a broadside bull moose that weighed 1,050lbs. Both exited and the sheared off petals made holes that could easily be seen through the lungs.
