A friend used some several years ago out of 308 and shot a button buck about 80 yads. He said it entered behind the right shoulder and exited the other side pulling lung tissue out with it. The deer ran 30-40 yds and fell over.
Accuracy from both calibers was very good and recoil was noticeably light.

This is my favorite bullet for deer out of my .308. With a very stiff load of w748 they shoot lights out and hit like a school bus.
