From my own experience, full bore hollowpoint bullets of 385 grain weight are deer killing demons which knock the snot out of deer.
Why is the weight 385g, why not 300g, which is what I believe it is for Jacket HP bullets? Why the greater weight to get the performance?

Chap,
Besides Maxis and one roundball, the 385 GP is all I have ever shot at deer. That's it. So I can speak of the virtues of both the 385 GP and my home cast maxiballs. The 385's were noticeably more effective.
Sabotloader,
I don't recall ever excluding saboted jacketed bullets. Best I can tell from what I wrote, which is archived right in the quote of your post, saboted jacketed bullets are to be included in the list of projectiles which can cleanly kill deer.
