A simple jacketed soft point like an Interlock, Core-Lokt, Hot-Cor, or PowerPoint, SGK, etc. kills deer just as reliably without all the mess........
The Remington Core-Lokts can be pretty messy as well in 150 Grain, atleast in a 300 Winchester Magnum factory load. Not sure how that bullets behaves at 308 velocities. I've also experienced similar results with the 150 grain 7mm Remington Magnum factory loaded Core-Lokts.
