I've not recovered a 165 BTSP fired from either a .308 or 30-06 after a lot of dead deer. It's been a good bullet for me. It also shares the same balistic coef as the .224 75 Amax which is nice when switching over to the yote gun.
I do the same thing. As far as the 165gr BTSP it has been an outstanding bullet for our family for years. Every recovered bullet looks similar to the one posted here.
