I don't like a a gawdawful mess when I shoot a deer, and I don't worry too much about DRT. In my .25-06 AI the best I've found are the 100 grain and 115 grain TSX. At close range they go right through in a straight line, smash everything in the way, and don't make a gawdawful mess. If you make a big bone or CNS hit they, like anything else, give you a DRT. If you don't hit the big bones or a CNS component a DRT is a maybe thing. That said, the only DRT results I've ever had have been a couple of times with TSX's in the boiler room but not hitting big bones or CNS. Just my preferences and experience.
