Very close to your question with the 7 PRC; I shot a WT buck with a 7mm Rem Mag and 162 ELD-X at about 30 yards. MV was ~3,000 fps. No exit, bang-flop. Thoracic cavity was soup. Shot just behind shoulder.
I shot my buck (WT) last year at about 350 yards with a 6mm Creedmoor and 103 ELD-X about two feet of penetration on a quartering shot, no exit. Last weekend, I put down a third WT buck with the same combo that was wounded after jumping it at about 50 yards, Texas heart shot, took out a foot of spine, top of liver, and stopped under the hide. I found the bullet on that one, looked like the rear half with jacket still intact. I'd guess 50-60% weight retention. They are coming out around 3050 out of my 26" barrel with suppressor.
Planning on the 168 Berger out of my 7RM for my buck this year. It launches them at 3,000 fps with a SD of 15 and five shot groups well under an inch.
