Here in Maine, many of my friends and myself use .308's to hunt deer with. We all use 150 grain bullets. I feel that anything heavier is a waste of energy. We mostly get all pass-throughs with the 150's. Some use the Rem. core-locks that you mentioned, while the rest of us use the Winchester CXP-2"'s. The bullets that I've seen that didn't pass-through were mushroomed out well.
