Even on a 170 grain .30-30 silvertip bullet. Just wondering if the 150 grain Silvertip bullet Winchester used in this lot of factory ammo was 150 grain bullets intended for the .30-06 or .300 Win Mag.I think the others have pretty well hit it.
BTW, you really can't judge bullet performance by looking at exit holes. Many times, if you examine carefully while field dressing, you'll see terrific damage of heart and lungs, and a caliber size exit hole.
Don't get fooled by all the 'DRT' stories you hear. An awful lot of whitetails will go a short distance with totally destroyed lungs and heart, and maybe even shoulders, too- seen it happen.
Every shot is different, and deer are individuals, just like people are. There are too many variables to expect identical actions every time you shoot a deer.
